A Boy Called Hope

A Boy Called Hope by Lara Williamson
 
Meet Dan Hope, a boy with a secret list of wishes. Some are funny, like wanting his "Ninja" sister to move to the North Pole or helping Sherlock Holmes solve a zombie mystery. But his biggest wish is the one he keeps closest to his heart: he just wants his dad to love him.
 
This moving, funny, and beautifully written story explores the power of hope and what it truly means to be a family. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes that sometimes, a little bit of hope can go a long way.
