I have enjoyed reading Scholastic books since I was a child. Now that I have my own school-age children, I am excited to pass down the joy of reading. A Drop of Hope, by Keith Calabrese, is a new Scholastic release that will show kids how small acts of kindness can spark hope in the community around them.
My kids and I are currently enjoying this book as a read aloud. It is not always easy to find time to read together before bedtime anymore, but it was nice to bring this book along during our spring break road trip. The wide array of characters and perspectives keep the reader’s mind engaged. As a mom of both a girl and a boy, I appreciate that the storyline appeals to both genders. Although the book is recommended for ages 8-12, I would personally recommend it for ages 10 and up as the main characters are in sixth grade and dealing with the issues that come with that age. The storyline is intriguing, and I would not be surprised if this book is eventually made into a movie. In a world where it seems that hope in humanity is increasingly difficult to come by, A Drop of Hope shows that hope can appear even in the most unlikely circumstances.
