Hope's Crossing book. See a Problem? We’d love your help.

This book is an inspiring book. One reason is because Hope Wakeman tries to get to her family after Tories raid her home and put it afire. Every chance I got, I would read "Hope's Crossing". Joan Elizibeth Goodman is a really good author. Goodman really can make a boring book into a really good book(keeping it as the author's book.

Hope frets over the protracted delay, fearing her pursuers, but then smallpox strikes

Hope frets over the protracted delay, fearing her pursuers, but then smallpox strikes. Hope loses her dear companion, and almost dies herself; after a long convalescence in the care of a British officer's wife, she again escapes, and a crusty old suitor of Maude's sails her across enemy lines to a happy reunion with her family. In a historical novel that, in the wake of Goodman’s Winter Hare (1996), seems tepid, Tory kidnappers bundle a Connecticut patriot’s daughter over the Sound to Long Island, where she endures mistreatment before undertaking the arduous journey home.

They came from across Long Island Sound, Tories in search of plunder and ransom, bringing terror to Hope Wakeman's Connecticut home. The family is defenseless now that Father is away serving in General Washington's army. They can only watch as Noah Thomas and his crew strip the house of treasured belongings. And before she realizes what is happening, Hope finds herself a captive and a slave to Thomas's ill-tempered wife. Hope has one unlikely ally: Thomas's plucky mother is a different sort of Tory, one who sees beyond partisan divisions. Together the frail old woman and the girl set off in search of safety, on a journey that takes them from the tiny villages of Long Island to the bustling Tory stronghold of Manhattan. A map helps readers follow along on this journey, during which many astonishing things are revealed to Hope about herself and her companion.

I would recommend this book to any tween or teen. This is a heart warming book but also sad. In the end it's a great book

Paxondano

Condition of book was not as described at all. It was described as almost new, but it was really old and very used -- as in yellowing pages, worn out edges and stained.

This review was first posted on Kids Corner @ Kindle Nation Daily.

Summery;This book is about a girl Named Hope she gets robbed and kidnapped she is taken to a place in England. She is put to work at the home of the person that kidnapped her and Hope wants to get out. So Hope and a new friend and they come together and try to escape from this house. They escape just in the nick of time. They travel across the Atlantic ocean and finally get to America. They find some good friends and stay with them. They go through trials that they shouldn't't have had to go through. This book ended perfectly like the way I wanted it to. The story told me that she was adventurous after that whole adventure.
Educational:This book was a historical-fiction and this book took place in the time of the Revolutionary War. At this time America wanted freedom from England. So the whole time they were traveling England was fighting America. All the streets were more dangerous then ever before. In the end of the story I think I remember them telling me that the war ended a couple of years later and it fit perfectly.
Entertainment: The story was very fun. The book is adventurous. I couldn't't put the book down. It was so good that I couldn't't stop reading after I started. This book would be good for someone that wants to learn something yet he or she wants to have fun reading. I hope that some day they will make another telling what happens to her after she gets home. Some day I want to write a story similar to this wonderful book. I loved this awesome book and hope you like it as much as I do!

While this story is fictional, it is based on a true account of a young girl who was taken from her family. Happily, the real girl was returned quickly and safely. But Hope is not. Taken from her family, unsure of their fate, and left to find her way home, she must summon up courage to face her greatest fears. Set in New York during the occupation by the British, the author described historical events and characters with accuracy and realism. I enjoyed reading about Hope's journey home and her fight to overcome her fear. Because of the settings, things don't always turn out well. People die. Things go badly. But the story ends as it should. I highly recommend for kids between 7 to 15. It would be an excellent read for anyone studying American History.

The book I read is called Hope's Crossing. I thought this book was very good. It was written by Joan Elizabeth Goodman. Joan Goodman has written many books includingThe Brooklyn Bridge,The Great Pyramid, The Great Wall,The Roman Colosseum, The Panama Canal, Machu Picchu, Hoover Dam, and Tikal. She has a degree from Bank Street College of Education. She was a teacher for New York public schools. This book is about a girl named Hope. Her father has gone away to fight in the Revolutionary War. The other people in the war that her father is not fighting for have come to Hope's house to get Hope's Father. Since he is not there they take Hope instead. The rest of the story is about Hope's journey back to her home.
The time period is in 1777 and 1778.This book is a little hard to read because the dialogue that is used is in the time of the Revolutionary War. In the dialogue the person who is talking uses words like tis, and sayings like thank you, no and other sayings that people today would not use.
The most important aspect is that Hope's father when he left to fight told Hope to "be brave." Through out the story Hope repeats her father's words in her head. This is how she concurs her fear of heights and, does many other things.
The most important characters are Hope and Mother Thomas. The story is from Hope's point of view and Hope is the one who the book is always talking about. Mother Thomas is one of the man's mothers who took Hope. Mother Thomas leaves her home with her son to help Hope get Back home. If it wasn't for Mother Thomas Hope would have been sold to be a slave. Hope hears that Noah, the person who took Hope wants to sell her to a slave owner. Hope tells what she heard to Mother Thomas and she helps Hope escape.
The author chose to write about this because every time she went to the beach that was near by where she lived she would pass a statue that was of people in the Revolutionary War. Later after seeing these she decided to make a story that was in the Revolutionary War time period.
The author doesn't chose one side or another. Hope starts out by thinking all people on the other side were bad then, she learns that there are many nice people who try to help her who are on the other side.
I liked this book a Lot. It was well organized, accessible and written. I liked that it was written in a way that you felt like you were there. I would recommend this book to you if you like to read realistic fiction.

Hope's Crossing gave me a glimpse of revolutionary times. Some of the hardships faced by the ordinary citizen with neighbor against neighbor in a bitter war. A look that I seldom see in our history books. It is the story of a young girl kidnapped after a night time raid on her home by loyalists. Her family was defenseless with her father away with General Washington. The author gave us a small taste of what it must have been like to live in those times and how independent and strong in character one needed to be to survive. I gave it only 3 stars because it is a short story and I do appreciate more in my novels.
