Summary: "Hope was here" inscribed all the places she went
Comment: My first reading of the summer and I have to say it was a good pick. "Hope was here" is the inscription that Hope (AKA Tulip) leaves wherever she goes. Raised by her Addie, her aunt, they both work at restautants and diners as they make their way. Hope, often works as a waitress, and is she good! Maybe, because she wants her almost non-existant mother to be proud and visit more. Hope has never stayed in one place too long and has experienced betrayal a few times past, be she moves on. To all her friends she always says she'll write and come back to visit. She writes.., the letters eventually stop from both ways and she never does go back to any place. I would classify this as a drama, just because of the stuggles throughout which Hope learns to accept as part of life. At the restaurant she works at called, "Welcome Stairways" (if you read the book it has an awesome meaning!)in her new town. There Hope finds romance, love of all sorts, appreciation, good vs. evil, ... but most of all she finds HOPE.

Summary: A Fun Filled Adventure!
Comment: Hope Yancey is the main character of the fun and food filled adventure, Hope Was Here, by Joan Bauer. Hope is a 16-year-old girl who has been raised by her Aunt Addie ever since her mother left her as a baby. Hope and Addie both work in the restaurant business with Hope as a waitress and Addie as a manager who's always coming up with a new dish. As the story starts they are leaving Brooklyn to go to Mulhoney, Wisconsin to work in a new restaurant. Hope hates leaving and every time she has to leave she writes hope was here somewhere on the place she's leaving. So after writing hope was here in tiny letters on the old boarded up diner they set out for their new life. Well there are great adventures ahead for them in Mulhoney. Not only in the restaurant business but also helping in a campaign, meeting new friends, finding romance and so much more.
Joan Bauer's writing style, the fast paced plot and the fact that the story is told through the eyes of a 16-year-old make this book very appealing to young adult readers, but it is also written in such a way that adults will enjoy this novel as well. This is certainly one of Joan Bauer's best books and is totally deserving of the Newberry Honor Award, which it received in 2001.
