The Great Gilly Hopkins is a funny book about a girl named Gilly, who is a foster child. Every foster home she goes to she purposefully drives the foster parents crazy, so that Gilly will not have to live with them anymore. All Gilly wants is to see her real mom. So Gilly sets out on a mission to find her real mom. During her mission something very strange happens!
My favorite part of the book is when it is Gilly's first day at her new school, because Gilly drives her principal crazy since she is such a trouble maker!
This book is set in the 1900's when African-American rights had just become legal. Will Gilly reunite with her mother?
