Selling Hope

Selling Hope

By Kristin O'Donnell Tubb

It's May 1910, and Halley's comet is going to pass through the earth's atmosphere. A lot of people are worried about what will happen when the comet comes. 13-year-old Hope and her dad have been part of a traveling circus for 5 years. Although her dad loves it, Hope longs for a real home again. When she overhears the road manger and his secretary talking about firing people, Hope thinks this is her chance to finally have a normal life. But she wants to make sure she and her dad are prepared to be fired, so with the help of her new friend Buster Keaton she starts selling "anti-comet pills". What I thought of it: My favorite character was Buster. His overall personality was really awesome. I wish there was a sequel, just so I could see more of him (and Nick). I really liked Nick (Hopes dad). This was one of the few books I've read that has female protagonist that isn't (overall) annoying. I really liked Hope actually. She was annoying a few times, though. Overall this is one of the best books I've in a while.

A Cry From Egypt (The Promised Land) (Volume 1)

A Cry From Egypt (The Promised Land) (Volume 1)

By Hope Auer

This book is about Jarah, an Israelite slave in Egypt. This book was especially cool, because it corresponds with my religion, what with Moses and the plagues. It was interesting learning more about that. In the book, Moses is trying to free the Israelites from the Egyptians, but the Pharaoh refuses to let them go. Moses, by the power of God, has created great plagues, and won't stop until the Egyptians free their slaves. Will they ever be free?
