About this ebook
Seventeen-year-old Gwen is preparing to audition for New York City’s top music schools when her grandfather mysteriously disappears, leaving Gwen only a phone message telling her not to worry. But there’s nothing more stressful than practicing for her auditions, not knowing where her grandfather is, and being forced to lie about his whereabouts when her insistent great-uncle demands an audience with him. Then Gwen meets Robert, also in town for music auditions, and the two pair up to brave the city without supervision. As auditions approach and her great-uncle becomes more aggressive, Gwen and Robert make a startling discovery. Suddenly Gwen’s hopes are turned upside down, and she and Robert are united in ways neither of them could have foretold. . . .

I give this book 5 stars for its great suspense and its being emotionally touching to the reader. It is amazingly written, corresponding with "Things Not Seen" beautifully. Just one thing, YOU WILL NOT ENJOY THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ "THINGS NOT SEEN"! Things Hoped for is indeed a sequel to that book and if you have a hard time enjoying this one, you probably never read Clements first book in this line. Yes yes, the first 50 pages drag, because Robert (aka Bobby in Things Not Seen) did not return. But if you push on, the book gets more emotional and truths about life are revealed like you've never seen before. Clements looks at reality and puts things like music, friendship, and love and makes them so you understand them like you never saw them before. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has read "Things Not Seen"
