Review: Are you searching for a good story book to read???You don't need to continue to find,because you have found it,¡¨The Great Gilly Hopkins¡¨.It is a very good story book.
"The Great Gilly Hopkins"was written by Katherine Paterson.The type of book is fiction.Why did I choose this book to read???The reason is the cover of this book.The cover attracts me to read it.On the cover,a girl was sitting in the floor and looking at a photo.She looks like very unhappy.I also feel her has many secrets.On that time,I think this book is very good,because she might have a touching story.I want to know the story of this girl.
In this book,the main character is Gilly Hopkins who is the girl on the book cover.She is eleven years old and a foster kid.She is in foster system all her life.She moves into her third foster home in less than three years.She wants to find her mother in Califormia.She also has a delusion that one day her real mother will live with her.Mrs Trotter,a fat countrywomen.She is a foster mother of Gilly.She also takes care about a metally slow foster child,is called Willian Ernest.
What is the ending of this story book???Finally ,Gilly with her mother and grandmother live.On that time,she wishes she is back living with Mrs Trotter.You want to know what happened before the ending,READ THIS BOOK~~!!
I like this book very much because it is very attractive.If you start to read this book,you will not want to stop it.You will continue to read and want to know what happened on the story.You will want to know whether Gilly find her mother at the end.Can she live with her mother??In this book,the discruption of characters and places are very detail.The editor describes the place are very detail to the readers because the editor wants the readers fuse into the story.This book is very easy to follow and the content is also very easy to understand.I have learnt what the thinking of the foster child have.They always feel alone and unpleasant.Their parents left these child,so they can't live with their parents and no one take care about them.They always think the reasons of parents left them are caused by them.We need to more take care about these foster child.
I recommend this book,¡¨The Great Gilly Hopkins¡¨ to all of you~~!!You don¡¨t need to continue to find another story book,you have found the best one~!!

Reviewer: Casey Erikson from New Iberia, Louisiana United States
I highly recommend this book, the warmth and love it displays and the harsh reality of our actions. Author Katherine Paterson writes about the sensitive subject of foster care. Gilly Hopkins an eleven year old child has been in foster care all her life with the hope of her mom returning one day to get her. Gilly is a very bright and unmanageable child who is placed with the Trotter family to live. At first Gilly can only see what is on the surface of her new family, a large obese religious woman and a slow timid boy. Before she can see what is in the hearts of her new family she writes a desperate note to be rescued only the rescue is not what she expects and comes after she has learned the true meaning of family.
