Hope

By Adam Eisenson

Written by a fourth-grade teacher and storyteller, this book is told through the eyes of Chantell, an average fourth- grader with friends, a good home, and not a care in the world. When she is paired to work on a project with Hope, a new student who tries to conceal the fact that she is homeless, Chantell learns about the devastating effects of homelessness and comes to understand the life she takes for granted. 127 pp. $14.95 from Lone Star Publications.
