The Great Gilly Hopkins

Cover The Great Gilly Hopkins
Genres: Fiction
I can see why this book won a Newberry Award. The writing really is brilliant and the evolution of the characters into an ending I didn't expect was wonderful. I will say that I was considering this for a 5th grade read but there are a lot of elements in the book that could be questionable. For instance, Gilly says the word hell many times throughout this book. That's just one of several elements that I questioned. As an adult I understand where that was coming from given her situation, but not sure how impressionable children might take that. The emotional element of this book is so tender and beautiful in the end. Worth reading for sure.

i like the book, but i just through all that trouble, hoping that it will show the page number, but it didn't.
I'm doing a reading log that needs the page number, so PLEASE ADD THE PAGE NUMBER.
