Loved this book as a preteen. Didn’t age perfectly, and as an adult I don’t find it completely realistic, but it’s still a joy to read. The writing style is so fun and really captures Hope’s plucky voice. I didn’t recall the plot having not read it in 20 years or so but I remembered all the characters. They’re that lovable. YA, a hi-lo read, not inappropriate for strong middle grade readers.
