“Hope is the thing with feathers” starts the poem Frannie is
reading in school. Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope.
There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her
friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy
in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the
new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who
is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie
starts seeing a lot of things in a new light—her brother
Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger,
her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing
with feathers.” Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey
into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy
of learning to look beneath the surface.
