Clements, Andrew. Things Hoped For. NY: Scholastic Inc, 2007. 167 pages. (Fiction)
The main characters of Things Hoped for are Gwen, Robert, Gwen’s Grandpa, and William. The story takes places in New York City. The problem that Gwen faces is that her grandpa is missing and Gwen is going to audition at the Manhattan’s Top Music School!!! More stress is not what she wants. Then she meets Robert who is also in town to audition. When Robert and Gwen were going for a walk in New York City, Robert sees a strange shadow that scared him and he ran for his life. That night Gwen’s Grandfather was found in her Grandpa’s house, DEAD!!! The same strange shadow that Robert found was in the house!! It was talking to them…
I would read another book by Andrew Clements. I would another one because it was very exiting and scary at some parts. Also, people told me that he wrote a lot of great books like Things Not Seen and Frindle. He did a wonderful job writing this book!!!
