Hope was Here by Joan Bauer
Summary: (amazon)
When Hope and her aunt move to small-town Wisconsin to take over the local diner, Hope's not sure what to expect. But what they find is that the owner, G.T., isn't quite ready to give up yet--in fact, he's decided to run for mayor against a corrupt candidate. And as Hope starts to make her place at the diner, she also finds herself caught up in G.T.'s campaign--particularly his visions for the future. After all, as G.T. points out, everyone can use a little hope to help get through the tough times . . . even Hope herself.
Filled with heart, charm, and good old-fashioned fun, this is Joan Bauer at her best.
My thoughts:
Joan Bauer writes about strong, female teenage characters. I reviewed her book "Almost Home." But this one has a different mood to it. Hope is a strong, confident 16 year old who is truly a memorable character. You will love this fun, unique book and I highly recommend it.
My Review: 4 stars (I liked it)
Content Ratings: Cautious--some drama and kissing
