Book Nook - A Leap of Hope: Emotions Come Alive in a Breathtaking Fantasy of Mistakes and Second Chances

 Delighting readers with a tale in which emotions are more than fleeting feelings, they’re living beings with immense power and responsibility. A Leap of Hope is an exciting and poignant upper mid-grade adventure that asks: what happens when even Hope wavers?

With its eponymously named protagonist, Hope, an immortal embodiment of positivity, the author delivers a narrative rich with quirky characters, clever twists, and themes of courage, hope, and redemption.

A heartfelt story that will resonate with its intended upper mid-grade readership, as well as others much older, this talented and imaginative author offers a timely reminder that true strength can be found in perseverance, compassion and the power of togetherness.

 

Synopsis:

When immortal Hope makes a promise she has no business to make, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous game with her cousin and arch enemy, Trouble. If she fails to take care of the two mortal children she has pledged to protect, she will be thrown into the everlasting Void.

With her twin sister Despair and her great uncle Mordred (better known as Death) lurking in the wings, the task is made ever more challenging.

Can she triumph over Trouble? Or will she be forced to leave behind a world without Hope?

Hope learns much more from mere mortals than she bargained for in this funny, poignant middle grade adventure.

 

 

The story is beautifully brought to life in the audio book narrated by Hermione Gulliford (Holby City, Foyles War) with music by Elizabeth Norden
