My thoughts on Journey to the Hopewell Star
Journey to the Hopewell Star is a young adult novel that will please readers of all ages. I know I found the story gripping from the first page to the last.
Samantha lives a rather sheltered life on a farm with her grandfather as her parents are off on an important scientific mission for the government. During a very strange electrical snowstorm, she meets a being from another world bearing gifts from her parents.
This is just the beginning of the fantastic happenings in her life. She has adventure after adventure with new friends, incredible creatures, evil villains, and bullies, all while trying to save Earth from destruction at the hands of humans. I really don’t want to give away any more of the plot. This is a must-read for yourself kind of book.
The author puts her fabulous imagination to work in building worlds, creatures, plotlines, and characters, all while getting the message across about the damage we are doing to our planet.
It’s very easy to get swept up in the adventures of Samantha and her friends in the race to save us all. I think the idea that the youth will be our salvation is a well-thought-out concept in this book. I only need to look to the day’s news headlines to see this being carried out every day.
I don’t want to give the impression that this book is all about the message. It’s delivered in an engaging science-fiction tale that lets readers draw their own conclusions and takeaways from the tale. At the very least, it’s a thrilling story told in a beautiful style.
I highly recommend this book to all readers, regardless of their age or genre preferences. There is definitely something for everyone in this wonderful story.
