Picture of Hollis Woods

  There is a girl named Hollis Woods. She was born in a town called holliswoods when she was an hour old. When the orphanage found her, there was a sheet written: Please name her Hollis Woods.She is a girl who is very talented in drawing. Hollis has been to foster homes but has ran away. Her orphanage teacher, (as known as Mustard Woman to Hollis) is taking her to another foster home. Now she is at an old lady's house. Her name is Josie. The author explains how Hollis feels when she is being with her (Josie).

However even though Hollis has been to many foster homes, she remember one paticullarplace. It is a time with a 13 year old boy named Steven. She used to be with Steven's Parents too.She also used to draw lots of pictures in Steven's house. However for some reason, Hollis has ran away. So, at Josie's house, she looks at the pictures she drew and reminds herself of what happened in each one.

                                 TIME WITH JOSIE.
At first Hollis was very nervous. However when she noticed that Josie was a nice person, Hollis started feeling comfortable. Josie likes art and she draws and makes lots of pictures. Hollis has been missing school on purpose by sending "excuse" letters to her teacher. It's because She and Josie are working on a sculpture. However Hollis wonders why Josie does not say any thing about school.Hollis figures out why day after day.   For her, Joshie is a perfect guardian for her but has one problem. She noticed that Josie keeps on forgeting things They also whatch movies for free because Josie's best friend, Beatrice works there.She also knows that Josie forgets things. But for a while they would not be ableto go to the teatre for a while because Beatrice is going on vacation. Beatrice was an artist too. She coul not go on vacation because she thought that Josie might forget everything. Now, since Hollis is here she will trust her and go. Later, when Mustared woman notices that Hollis is not going to school , she eventually notices that Josie forgets stuff. So, Mustared woman takes Hollis to school and tells her that Hollis will go to another foster home. Hollis dose not want to go and leave Josie. So Hollis and Josie run away and Hollos says that they are gonna go to somewhere that is peceful, which is Steaven's house.

When they arrive, they notice that Steven and his parents are not there. Stiill, they go inside, Josie stars sleeping, and Hollis stars moving their bags.

In that house, they celebrated christmas. However, Hollis felt like someone was whatcing her and it was Steaven!!!

                           Much more things happened but the result was that Josie got to live with Beatrice and Hollis lived with Steven. Sometimes Hollis visted Josie but Josie sometimes did not remember her. (memory)

                                                                                           True love was shown...



                                 TIME WITH STEVEN.
When Hollis first met Steven, it seems like he is a bragger. Later, when Hollis spends time with him, it seems like he is not a bragger after all. Steven's parent are also nice to her. Later they dicide that they will adopt Hollis. However, first, they have away from eachother for a while.When Hollis then becomes their daughter, all the land and sea will be hers....

 I don't really get why but I hope that they really will become a family...

In the book it told that when Hollis and Steven were driving in a truck, the truck flipped over and that Steven almost died. Hollis thought it was all her fault and that she was ruining the family...

                                                                                                                  That was why she ran away..
