X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>About the Book:</p>\n<p>Hope in the Valley
  is a middle-grade novel exploring grief\, friendship\, family\, and growi
 ng up in a community facing a housing crisis.</p>\n<p>Twelve-year-old Indi
 an-American Pandita Paul doesn't like change. She's not ready to start mid
 dle school and leave the comforts of childhood behind. Most of all\, Pandi
 ta doesn't want to feel like she's leaving her mother\, who died a few yea
 rs ago\, behind. After a falling out with her best friend\, Pandita is pla
 nning to spend most of her summer break reading and writing in her favorit
 e secret space: the abandoned but majestic mansion across the street. But 
 then the unthinkable happens. The town announces that the old home will be
  bulldozed in favor of new&mdash\;maybe affordable&mdash\;housing. With he
 r family on opposing sides of the issue\, Pandita must find her voice&mdas
 h\;and the strength to move on&mdash\;in order to give her community hope.
 </p>\n<p>About the Author:</p>\n<p>Mitali Perkins has written many books f
 or young readers\, all of which explore crossing different kinds of border
 s. Her goal is to make readers laugh or cry\, preferably both\, as long as
  their hearts are widening. She lives and writes in the East Bay.</p>\n<p>
