A Kirkus Reviews Best Middle Grade Book of the Century Hollis Woods is the place where a baby was abandoned is the baby’s name is an artist is now a twelve-year-old girl who’s been in so many foster homes she can hardly remember them all. When Hollis is sent to Josie, an elderly artist who is quirky and affectionate, she wants to stay. But Josie is growing more forgetful every day. If Social Services finds out, they’ll take Hollis away and move Josie into a home. Well, Hollis Woods won’t let anyone separate them. She’s escaped the system before; this time, she’s taking Josie with her. Still, even as she plans her future with Josie, Hollis dreams of the past summer with the Regans, fixing each special moment of her days with them in pictures she’ll never forget. Patricia Reilly Giff captures the yearning for a place to belong in this warmhearted story, which stresses the importance of artistic vision, creativity, and above all, family. Review: Great book for young tween to teen. - I love this book. I first read it in middle school, and I felt I could relate to Hollis. It gives an interesting perspective of her life. Review: a gifted writer - This is truly a beautiful book. Thank goodness there are no illustrations! They would obliterate the reader’s opportunity to imagine Hollis’ sketches and drawings to the detriment of the story. This is a moving, but not maudlin story that I think may help young people coming from typical families ( whatever that is) to see what a foster child goes through. Maybe an opportunity to develop empathy for others. I’m a grandmother and this story brought tears to my eyes. I recommend it to young and old - together! ## Features - Author: Giff, Patricia Reilly. - Publisher: Yearling - Pages: 176 - Publication Date: 2004-05-11 - Edition: DGS REP - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 6.99 - ISBN13: 9780440415787 - ISBN: 0440415780 - Other ISBN: 9780307542281 - Other ISBN Binding: printisbn - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,811 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #67 in Children's Books on Orphans & Foster Homes #1,692 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,051 Reviews | ## Images ![Pictures of Hollis Woods - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61d6vx-W5eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for young tween to teen. *by M***A on May 26, 2026* I love this book. I first read it in middle school, and I felt I could relate to Hollis. It gives an interesting perspective of her life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a gifted writer *by S***J on May 21, 2023* This is truly a beautiful book. Thank goodness there are no illustrations! They would obliterate the reader’s opportunity to imagine Hollis’ sketches and drawings to the detriment of the story. This is a moving, but not maudlin story that I think may help young people coming from typical families ( whatever that is) to see what a foster child goes through. Maybe an opportunity to develop empathy for others. I’m a grandmother and this story brought tears to my eyes. I recommend it to young and old - together! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What is a Family? *by M***E on December 5, 2024* It is impossible to plumb the depths of this novel. The surface reading level is 4-5th grade, but the content touches themes that will resonate more deeply with adults. Dementia, family, belonging, and foster care, are just a few of the themes that Giff deftly handles in this dual-timeline novel. I HIGHLY recommend this book as a teaching novel, especially for ESL adults. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4318357-pictures-of-hollis-woods](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4318357-pictures-of-hollis-woods) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
