Gold Star Award Winner!HOPE WAS HERE is a brilliant book by an equally brilliant author, Joan Bauer. When I read this book for the first time (my copy is worn; I've read it so often!), I was an instant fan of the author. HOPE WAS HERE is worth your time, worth your money, and worth anything else that you have to do to get your hands on this book.Hope is a sixteen-year-old waitress who has lived all across America with her Aunt Addie. Hope's mother (who, upon seeing her tiny baby for the first time, named her Marigold, of all things. Addie's twelfth birthday present to her niece was a name change.) has long been out of the picture, visiting only occasionally with tidbits of advice.Waitressing at the diner in Brooklyn was great for Hope, but, like all good things, it comes to an end. The owner stole all of the money and ran off, leaving Addie and Hope with nothing. The two of them boarded up the windows, and, just before driving off, Hope left her mark: Hope Was Here, in blue ballpoint pen at the edge of one of the boards.Addie and Hope are off to a small town in Wisconsin. When they get there, they meet G.T., the owner of the local diner where Addie will be cooking and Hope will be waitressing. G.T is a man the town loves, and he's going to run for mayor and change things. The current mayor, a scheming, dishonest typical politician, isn't standing for that, though. He's got to bring up how G.T. has leukemia, and is dying. How, he says, can a man who is dying take care of an entire town? He might not be alive in a few months.G.T. isn't alone, though. Hope, Addie, and countless others are trying to get him elected, so that he can do some good for the town. Even though things are hard, they've still got to have hope.This novel is amazing. HOPE WAS HERE is a book that you will not read only once, but over and over. It sticks with you. Part of this is due to the well thought-out characters, especially Hope. She is a strong character, but also a strong person. She's been through a lot, and she's still around, serving up food to hungry customers.Her waitressing jobs have a lot to do with who Hope is. Maybe to some people (you know the type--not good enough unless you've got a diploma from Harvard), waitressing seems like a dead-end job, but this book shows different sides of it.HOPE WAS HERE is a page-turner that will keep you riveted from the first word (which happens to be "somehow"), to the last ("had"), and when it's over, you'll want more. Luckily for us, Joan Bauer has written several other books for young adults, including BACKWATER, RULES OF THE ROAD, and SQUASHED. They're just as good as HOPE WAS HERE, too, and that's saying something!Reviewed by: Jocelyn Pearce
Hope's mother was meant to be a waitress more than a parent. That's why after Hope was born prematurely, she left Hope with her aunt Addie and never looked back (though she does send Christmas newsletters). Just about the only thing Hope's biological mother left her was a bad name (Tulip) which she has had legally changed... plus a talent for waitressing, and frequent tips on how to get good tips.Addie has been the best mother a girl could ask for. Her pancakes are legendary, her pies are criminal and her meatloaf is drool-worthy. It's Addie's job to show up at diners that need help, get them back on their feet and then take off for parts unknown again. Which means she has dragged Hope and a U-Haul all around America - and Hope has made friends and said goodbye to them in countless states, always leaving behind the scribbled words `Hope was Here' in some unassuming place.Now Addie and Hope are coming to Wisconsin, to help out a man called G.T. - owner of the "Welcome Stairways" diner who has recently been diagnosed with leukaemia, and needs a helping hand to keep the restaurant going while he recovers.But that's not all G.T. needs help with. He figures that since he's dying, he has nothing to lose - so he's taking on the local mayor, Eli Millstone, and the big business Dairy factory and running for local candidacy. G.T. intends to take on the corruption that is rife in town, bring down the tax-evading dairy factory, and Eli who is lining his pockets with dirty dealings.Helping G.T. accomplish his clean political campaign is young cook, Braverman, who Hope develops a small fascination with. Local pastor and best friend, high school politician called Adam and a slew of small-town customers.Hope isn't really used to permanency, or trusting people. But since coming to Wisconsin and seeing the integrity with which G.T. is trying to win a hopeless campaign ... well, it's got Hope trying to live up to her very big name.`Hope Was Here' is a Newbery Honor book, written by Joan Bauer in 2000.`Hope Was Here' is continuing my love of Newbery Honor books, another sweet gem of the middle-grade readership that I gobbled up in one train ride. The book begins with sixteen-year-old Hope leaving New York behind and heading out to Wisconsin with her adopted mother, Addie, for yet another new food adventure. But when we meet her, Hope is becoming weary of the road and her and Addie's always-changing homes. Hope is feeling particularly disgruntled at this latest move, because it came after their NY diner business partner, Gleason Beal, took off with another waitress and all of Addie's life savings.Hope is a most interesting character; because when we meet her life has already beaten her down and moulded her some. She admits that it took a short boxing career to punch out her built-up anger at her mother; anger for leaving her as a sick baby, anger for not being the mothering type, anger for still calling her `Tulip' when she changed her name to Hope. After the Gleason Beal debacle, Hope is both saddened but not all that surprised at the betrayal. Here we are meeting a kid who is already world-weary, and if it wasn't for Addie being her constant and comfort, she would have a completely negative outlook on life.Hope's low-expectations of people are confounded by her having to leave the best ones behind. She finds that making friends is the first step to accepting a new place as home, but having had to leave so many people she loves behind, she has taken to not making promises of seeing them ever again (though she does write them). When we meet her in Wisconsin, she's really feeling down and out;So, of course, the stickler of `Hope Was Here' is reading Hope change her outlook on life, and try living up to her name. The journey Hope has to go on has an obvious end-result, but it's the way Joan Bauer gets her there that's so darn great.When Hope and Addie arrive at the "Welcome Stairways" diner, they don't realise they're stepping into brewing political warfare. Diner owner, G.T. is dying and intends to fight against small town corruption with his last breath. He is the embodiment of everything Hope isn't right now - he may not be a permanent fixture of this earth for much longer, but he's intending to do the most he can with what little time he has left. He can't promise people that he'll even be able to complete a full term if elected, but he can show them that he intends to do the best job he can for however long this illness he's battling will let him.I loved this book. Hope is an exceptional narrator - I sort of see her as this girl who's fighting a grin, so sometimes it looks like she has pursed-lips from sucking on sour grapes so long, but really that grimace is just a smile waiting to break out. Her thoughts sometimes turn dark - when she thinks about the mother that didn't want her, or the people she has had to leave behind - but her namesake is often bigger than her woes and she's this girl who is constantly breaking out in sunshine, despite the rain. I loved her. And I think she's the main reason that, despite being a 16-year-old narrator, Joan Bauer's `Hope Was Here' is a proud middle-grade book.This one also had me crying buckets by the end - as much for the story as to be leaving behind this cast of characters who I so enjoyed spending a little bit of time with.This is a beautiful, heartfelt book that asks big life questions in a small-town setting. Hope is one of the best narrators, and Joan Bauer's book is being added to my list of favourite Newbery's
What a funny, heartwarming, bittersweet book! Joan Bauer's "Hope Was Here" is perfectly written. Hope was left by her mother, Deena, as a young, sick, fatherless baby, originally named Tulip, and given to Hope's aunt, Addie, a cook. So Hope spends her life moving from one place to the other, and in some cases, as a waitress. In "Hope Was Here", Hope and Addie move to Mulhoney, Wisconsin to work for a leukemia-diagnosed man, after their money was stolen from their previous boss, in Brooklyn. In Mulhoney, Hope finds herself in a crazy political race, while managing the busy restaurant. I highly recommend it!
The story is good, its an easy read and allows you to cheer for the good guys over the obvious bad.BUT the author would do well to research treatment for leukemia. I have about 50 pages left to go and can hardly stand it. "reports of GT leukemia going into his brain....leukemia is a blood cancer..... so its in the blood.... perhaps you meant it crossed over to the CNS. Which I know the bad guys are wrongly reporting, but if that were the case,GT would be hospitalized and they would be proved wrong quickly. This after I spent a good about of time trying to ignore the fact that if he was in active treatment getting leukemia into remission, he couldn't be doing all he was doing. That is the first stage of treatment and its an intense brutal one. Should have picked a different cancer maybe??
This is a book about a girl who is rejected by her mother, raised by her aunt and in search of her father. The yearning of every teen who wishes to be loved, held and wanted is in the heart of Hope. Her exterior tuffness is played out well in a diner environment where a thick skin is a job requirement.Some of the objections posted here I find unfounded. Hope's entire motivation in life is to seek out the love she misses from her MIA Dad while trying to accept her AWOL mother's attitude. She finds comfort in her imaginations about a loving father and ekes out bits of value from her mother's advice about waiting on tables. These two merge as a force that drives her forward in the book. Her head is motivated by her desire to be the best server and her heart by drawing near to a father. It's all there and justifies all her actions.Oh, there's one other motivation that fills any open gaps, her devotion to her aunt. I found that everything she does is propelled by these.I too felt a flaw in the book is the simplification of politics. The Mayor character is too flat, the Cheese company is Vadar like. But unlike one reviewer I saw the politics the other way around. Wisconsin can be a very blue state and small local politics is often devoid of real national issues. So I saw these as liberal people grasping for control, using corporations badly. Despite the usual corporate metaphors and our national rhetoric, we all know that dirty machine politics is the sole domain of no one party. Heck, the Dems wrote the book on corporate, government and local domination at Tammany Hall.But after a momentary bit of labeling, I discarded the cliches. The story transcended party politics. Its about struggle, finding a cause that's worthy and keeping hope alive.Integrity, love and hope are universal. This book weves these three qualities into a dramatic stroy that touched my family.Can't wait for the movie version.
Our 10 year old grandson read this book recently, and I read it as well so that we could discuss it. It is a wonderful peak into a world where most children have little knowledge. The young protagonist who has been given up at birth by her mother is raised by a loving aunt but has to move continually because of the aunt's jobs. The story tells of a child's struggle to find a way to feel that she has roots somewhere.Normally, I would have said that this is more of a book for girls. However our grandson was fascinated by the story and introduced to some sensitivities that all children can identify with regardless of their gender.
