What to expect

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.

Critics Review

Harper Lee has a worthy successor. Wolk is a big new talent
The Times
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
Guardian
Suspenseful, wise, beautifully written and emotionally engaging
Sunday Times
Haunting . . . With a precociously perceptive girl as a main character; a damaged, misunderstood recluse; and themes of prejudice and bigotry, comparisons to Harper Leeu2019s To Kill a Mockingbird will abound. But Wolk gives us her own story - one full of grace and stark, u00adbrutal beauty
New York Times
A powerful, beautifully written coming-of-age novel . . . This emotionally intelligent, complex story deserves recognition and praise
Daily Mail
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
The Bookseller
Beautifully written, with memorable characters, sensitively handled moral issues and a storyline that lingers long after the final page. I loved it
