Pictures of Hollis Woods- from the Summarizer's Perspective

Name of book: Pictures of Hollis Woods
Author: Patricia Reilly Giff
Reviewer: Mai Ness
Job: Summarizer
Chapters Read: 4
Total amount of Chapters: 17 and 14 pictures (separate chapters about paintings of hers.)


My Summary of this section of the book- chapters 6 to 10 was:

Hollis finds out that she has to leave Josie forever, so she runs away from Josie's home, taking Josie with  her- They escape Long Island and drive right into Hollis's old home, where she used to live with Izzy, Steven and the Old Man.

The key points in this section were:

  1. Mustard Lady wants Hollis to live in another home.
  2. Hollis wants to to stay with Josie.
  3. Hollis saves Josie and herself by running away (with Josie)
  4. They drive to the Old Man's home, packed with memories from her past.
  5. Hollis realizes that they have not forgotten her, but that she still does not belong with them.

For the next Lit. Circles meeting we will read 3 chapters.
