Hope is a decision, but it is a hard one to recognize in
the face of oppression, belittlement, alienation, and
defeat. To help embolden hope, here is a powerhouse
collection of essays and personal stories that speak
directly to teens and all YA readers. Featuring Angie
Thomas, Marie Lu, Nicola Yoon, David Levithan, Libba
Bray, Jason Reynolds, Renée Ahdieh, and many more!
A Junior Library Guild Selection "The hope of a secure and livable world lies with
disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice,
peace and brotherhood."--Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. We all experience moments when we struggle to understand
the state of the world, when we feel powerless and--in
some cases--even hopeless. The teens of today are the
caretakers of tomorrow, and yet it's difficult for many
to find joy or comfort in such a turbulent society. But
in trying times, words are power.
Some of today's most influential young adult authors come
together in this highly personal collection of essays and
original stories that offer moments of light in the
darkness, and show that hope is a decision we all can
make.
Like a modern day Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul or
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens, Hope Nation
acknowledges the pain and offers words of encouragement. Authors include: Atia Abawi, Renee Ahdieh, Libba Bray,
Howard Bryant, Ally Carter, Ally Condie, Christina Diaz
Gonzales, Gayle Forman, Romina Garber, I. W. Gregario,
Kate Hart, Bendan Kiely, David Levithan, Alex London,
Marie Lu, Julie Murphy, Jason Reynolds, Aisha Saeed, Nic
Stone, Angie Thomas, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Jeff Zentner,
and Nicola Yoon.
