Through the lens of several popular YA authors, readers are given insight into the various ways hope can be found in life. This collection explores hope through interviews, short stories, and essays.
I have seen similar collections like this done before. It does expose readers to popular authors. Some essays are more appealing than others. However, I wasn't given much of a lasting impression by this book. It wasn't bad or good, just not memorable.

I picked and chose which stories I wanted to read. Very interesting anthology on remaining hopeful in the face of personal and national adversity. I enjoyed the few stories I read!
Amazing! Can use individual pieces as awesome prompts and models. So inspirational and reminds readers of how much of America is the immigrant experience today! I am blown away and love that all proceeds go to charities-a must have for all MS and HS libraries.

A solid and diverse collection of essays by YA authors on how they found inspiration and hope when confronted with life challenges.

I enjoyed listening to this on audio at the start of the school year. The essay format was precisely what I needed for my weak attention span as I was spending a lot of mental energy on school items. Certainly, I enjoyed some essays more than others, but the overall effect was exactly what the title advertised: hope.
This was such a great collection of short stories written by YA authors. Theyāre all about finding hope. I plan to use many excerpts from this book as mentor texts for my students to help inspire their writing. Although I didnāt connect with every essay, I loved most of them!!
I donāt think I read the same book as everyone else. I mean, it was okay, but it felt like all the authors remembered the night before their deadline that they had an essay to write.
I have a lot to say about this book, but I have already said it in my personal reflection for PD credit. So all I will say here is read this book. Pay special attention to the essays from Jeff Zentner and Nic Stone. They spoke directly to my heart.
Honestly, this book is truly for people who feel like all hope is lost due to the state of our world. This book lifted me up and gave me small little pieces of hope to keep going when things seem at their worst. I loved hearing personal stories from authors I love and finding out about some new (to me) authors as well! I recommend this to anyone who needs/is looking for hope. This book reminds you that sometimes you have to find that glimpse of hope in the darkest of places, but itās thereānever give up and if you start to (or even if you arenāt), you should read this book!
