Description
A Newbery Honor Book by Jacqueline Woodson. Hope is the thing with feathers, Frannie reads in school, and it's a phrase that makes her think about hope in a different way. Her friend Samantha seems to embody it more and more each day, while a new boy in class claims not to be white, despite looking like one. As winter brings its share of surprises, Frannie starts seeing things in a new light - her brother's deafness, her mother's fear, the class bully's anger, her best friend's faith, and her own desire for hope. This moving novel by a three-time Newbery Honor-winning author takes readers on a journey into a young girl's heart, revealing the pain and joy of learning to look beneath the surface. It offers a thoughtful exploration of coming of age and the importance of holding on to hope. A wonderful purchase for public and school libraries alike.
