Description
When immortal Hope makes a promise she has no business to make, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous game with her cousin and arch enemy, Trouble. If she fails to take care of the two mortal children she has pledged to protect, she will be thrown into the everlasting Void.
With her twin sister Despair and her great uncle Mordred (you might know him better as Death) lurking in the wings, the task is made ever more challenging.
Can she triumph over Trouble? Or will she be forced to leave behind a world without Hope?
Hope learns much more from mere mortals than she bargained for in this funny, poignant middle grade adventure.

Reviews
'Delightful and thoughtful in equal measure, the story carries you on a soaring journey. You will never think of despair and hope in quite the same way again' Emma Rea - Author of Top Dog and My name is River
'Engrossing, touching and thought-provoking, A Leap of Hope is an irresistible adventure with a supernatural twist. On one level a cracking tale of an orphaned sister and brother battling to get free of their wicked relations; on another, a highly original exploration of emotional intelligence and self-awareness through the figure of Hope herself, come to life in a human body.' Charlotte Hobson - author of Black Earth City and The Vanishing Futurist
