...a well-plotted, fast-moving little angst tornado of a read. * Globe and Mail * The prose is simple, yet elegant, and readers will appreciate the dual meaning of the title, in Hope's self-discovery, and the literal need for the characters to find hope. * Canadian Children's Book News * ...an arresting read that adeptly tackles the dark, weighty subjects of bullying, drug addiction, sexual assault, homelessness and loss. Told in simple yet striking prose, peppered throughout with Hope's haunting poetry, Finding Hope offers an engaging brother-sister narrative, flawed yet relatable characters, and a convincing, well-paced plot that succeeds in laying bare a fractured family's harrowing struggle with addiction, and one young woman's achingly real odyssey of self-discovery and healing. * Quill & Quire * Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this will be a popular choice among mature readers of realistic fiction, particularly fans of Ellen Hopkins's "Crank" series. * School Library Journal (Starred Review) * The silence and shame around sexual abuse infuses this novel with an aching loss for what could have been but now is lost. Both this abuse and the online texting of sexual pictures reflects dangers faced by the intended audience, who will no doubt pass this book eagerly from hand to hand. * Resource Links * Steeped in emotional torment. * Publishers Weekly * For suspense and gritty realism ... Finding Hope takes top marks. * Winnipeg Free Press * Through brief alternating chapters told by Hope and Eric, Nelson conveys Hope's naivete and innocence, as well as the gritty truth about Eric and the trigger for his addiction. * Booklist *
