5.0 out of 5 stars Being an adoptive mom, this book touched me!!, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Literature Guide: The Great Gilly Hopkins (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)

I really disliked this tough-acting little girl throughout the first half of the book. As the story unfolded, though, I was feeling her pain and getting quite attached to her. All the characters in the story are very real and human, and the relationships that develop as the story evolves are so touching! This book will stay with me for a long time!
