A Drop of Hope

By: Keith Calabrese

Narrated by: George Newbern

Introducing an extraordinary new voice who reveals how powerful an act of kindness, a hint of magic, and a little hope can be.

"This story has renewed my faith in humanity." (Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor-winning author of Hattie Big Sky)

A well. A wish. And a little drop of hope.

Times are tough. Jobs are scarce, and miracles are in short supply. But something strange is happening in If Only, Ohio. An old well has suddenly, impossibly, begun to grant wishes. And three sixth graders are the only ones who know why.

Ernest Wilmette believes a good deed makes magic happen. Ryan Hardy thinks they should just mind their own business. Lizzy MacComber believes in facts, not fairy tales. Of course, you don't have to believe in wishes to make one.

As more wishes are made, the well's true secret gets harder and harder to keep. Ernest, Ryan, and Lizzy know they can't fix the world. But in their own little corner of it, they can give everyone a little hope...one wish at a time.

Great story for kids and adults alike!

I bought this book for my son for his school rooster games, but I have to say it really had ME inthralled!! My son enjoyed it as well. We would definitely recommend.
