The Great Gilly Hopkins

Meet Gilly, a 12-year-old firecracker in and out of the foster care system who has mastered the art of outwitting every family she's been placed with. She believes her real mother, the enigmatic Courtney, awaits her somewhere, so she can never settle down. Her world takes an unexpected turn when Gilly lands with the unconventional Trotter family, who appear to be the oddest of them all. Instead of fleeing as usual, Gilly finds herself in the warm embrace of Maime Trotter - a cheerful and affectionate woman determined not to let Gilly slip away so easily. As their relationship grows, Gilly discovers that family might mean something entirely different than what she once thought, and her definition of home may be redefined under this unconventional family's tender guidance.
