Annabelle has lived in Wolf Hollow all her life: a quiet place, still scarred by two world wars. But when cruel, manipulative Betty arrives in town, Annabelle's calm world is shattered, along with everything she's ever known about right and wrong. When Betty disappears, suspicion falls on strange, gentle loner Toby.
As Wolf Hollow turns against him, and tensions quickly mount, Annabelle must do everything in her power to protect Toby - and to find Betty, before it is too late.

Wolf Hollow really inspired me to read a lot more and now I read every day! Lauren Wolk has inspired me to write my own stories and hopefully loads of other people! The message is really important to me and should be to everyone else and it really got me thinking about it.
I never liked to read before I read Wolf Hollow and that truly inspired me to read a lot more. I didn't think I could find any books for me and now I've read all the Lauren Wolk books and I'm now passing them onto my Grandma who's enjoying them as much as I did! It's a fascinating book and about a girl who grows up on a farm and you can really picture how she feels.... Read Full Review
