In "The Great Gilly Hopkins" by Katherine Paterson, eleven-year-old Gilly is a fiercely independent and sharp-tongued girl who has lived in various foster homes. She hopes to escape her current placement with Maime Trotter, a kind-hearted but unconventional woman. Gilly’s bravado hides her fear of being abandoned, and her attempts to manipulate her way through life often lead to unexpected consequences. As she interacts with her new foster family, including a boy with a disability and a loveable older woman, Gilly begins to understand the meaning of love, acceptance, and true family, ultimately discovering a sense of belonging.
