Hope and Other Punchlines by Julie Buxbaum

4.0

---

Gentle story about a young woman trying to live her life apart from her alter ego- Baby Hope. She became a symbol of survival and optimism after her image was captured as she escaped the tragedy of 9/11 when she was only 1 year old. She meets Noah as a fellow summer camp counselor who wants to use her notoriety for his own goals to learn more about 9/11. Despite the subject matter, this is a sweet, funny book that is great for Sarah Dessen fans.
