Hope in the Valley, from National Book Award Nominee Mitali
Perkins, is a middle-grade novel exploring grief, friendship,
family, and growing up in a community facing a housing crisis.
Twelve-year-old Indian-American Pandita Paul doesn't like change.
She's not ready to start middle school and leave the comforts of
childhood behind. Most of all, Pandita doesn't want to feel like
she's leaving her mother, who died a few years ago, behind. After a
falling out with her best friend, Pandita is planning to spend most
of her summer break reading and writing in her favorite secret
space: the abandoned but majestic mansion across the street. But
then the unthinkable happens. The town announces that the old home
will be bulldozed in favor of new--maybe affordable--housing. With
her family on opposing sides of the issue, Pandita must find her
voice--and the strength to move on--in order to give her community
hope.
