Hope Was Here is a story about a young girl named Hope and
her aunt who move from bustling New York City to small town Wisconsin. There
they help run the Welcome Stairways Diner. The owner of the diner, G.T.,
decides shortly after their arrival to run for mayor against the town's current
devious and greedy incumbent. With the help of Hope and her new friends from
school, and her new love interest
Braverman, G.T’s campaign has a fighting chance against the slimy Eli Millstone.
I will be honest, Hope Was Here made me cry. Not just the
normal shed a tear for the characters in the book, but a full out bawl for Hope
and her little family. This is a wonderful book that has great approachable and
relatable characters. The plot is engaging and you feel genuinely invested in
the characters' lives. This book would be great for middle schoolers.
