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 accuses gentle loner Toby - a traumatised ex-soldier - of a terrible act, Annabelle knows he's innocent. Then Betty disappears . . .

Now Annabelle must protect Toby from the spiralling accusations and hysteria, until she can prove to Wolf Hollow what really happened to Betty.

Powerful, poignant and lyrical, Wolf Hollow is an unforgettable story.

Critic reviews

Harper Lee has a worthy successor. Wolk is a big new talent
Weaving together complex themes with extraordinary skill, debut author Lauren Wolk has created a book that deserves to be read . . . A timeless story, beautifully placed in an evocative and brilliantly realised historical setting
Suspenseful, wise, beautifully written and emotionally engaging
Haunting . . . With a precociously perceptive girl as a main character; a damaged, misunderstood recluse; and themes of prejudice and bigotry, comparisons to Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird will abound. But Wolk gives us her own story - one full of grace and stark, ­brutal beauty
A powerful, beautifully written coming-of-age novel . . . This emotionally intelligent, complex story deserves recognition and praise
Atmospheric, haunting and beautifully written, this is a wonderful and very moving story
A beautifully written, poignant page turner (Jacqueline Wilson)
This book is extraordinary. With shades of To Kill a Mockingbird but inspired by her own mother's family, Lauren Wolk has created a work of fiction where every character lives off the page. It is a gripping, moving, living, breathing tale written by a highly skilled hand. I cannot recommend it enough
There are echoes of To Kill a Mockingbird . . . An accomplished and powerful debut
Beautifully written, with memorable characters, sensitively handled moral issues and a storyline that lingers long after the final page. I loved it
All stars

One of the best children's books that I've read for a LONG time! Perfect for children age 10 years plus. The evocative writing is well matched by a great narrator. Didn't want it to end.

Beautiful and thoroughly captivating.

I have read this book multiple times. It is beautifully done. The characters are believable: flawed and complex. The sequel is great too. Wolk just has a way with words.

Captivating
