Things Hoped For By Andrew Clements

A companion book to Things Not Seen, the main character, Gwen, leaves her small southern community to live in NYC with her grandfather to study music. She is faced with her grandfather mysteriously disappearing and asking her to "hold down the forth" right around the time she is preparing for all of her college auditions. She becomes friends with Bobby (the main character of Things Not Seen) and he helps her to deal with the mess of her grandfather's disappearance while also forcing her to continue to focus on her preparations for auditions.

This book may be most appealing to female readers. It has a much different feel than Things Not Seen.
