"Hope and Other Punch Lines" by Julie Buxbaum follows the story of 16-year-old Abby, a girl whose life was forever changed by a tragic event that made national headlines when she was a child. Now, as she navigates high school, she grapples with the weight of her past and the label of being the “Girl from the Hope Camp.” When she meets a boy who challenges her perspective and encourages her to embrace her authenticity, Abby embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and learning to find hope amidst the shadows of her past.
