"Jennifer Gibson’s young adult coming of age/social issues novel, Hope, is the fourth book in the series that features Jessie McIntyre, a young, hearing disabled woman. I had not read any of the previous books in the series, but found myself smoothly integrated into, and involved in, the story of this engaging character. Gibson’s story gives the reader a sobering look into the challenges faced on an everyday basis by people who are seen by the rest of the world as disabled. I was stunned by the children’s comments that their parents didn’t think she should be teaching them as well as by the fencers who resented her presence in their class. Jessie’s world is a complex one as she navigates the reactions of teachers, fellow students, and the rest of the world while juggling the difficulties of living in a mostly silent world. Like most people, I suspect, I thought hearing aids could restore full hearing -- just one of the things I learned from being a part of Jessie’s world while reading this book. And yes, I finished the book thinking that the world needs a few more heroes like Jessie McIntyre and her new school friend, Jackson, to look up to. Hope is most highly recommended." - Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favourite, 5 stars
