Hollie Chips by Anna Gowan


Junior Fiction reviewed by Risheeka Chhiba
Hollie Chips and her mum move to a new neighbourhood. It is a fresh beginning.

Hollie is a very strange girl because she can’t tell a single lie. She is very intelligent and mischievous and is always eavesdropping on other people’s conversations. This is how her adventure unfolds.
One day she accidentally overhears a conversation taking place with businessman Barry Buckscud discussing about a big change that is going to affect Hollie’s quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.
This upsets Hollie and she can’t concentrate at school and she needs to fix it to help out the people in her neighbourhood.

I recommend this book for nine and ten year olds because it easy to understand and keeps the reader in suspense. You don’t know what is going to happen next.
