And What's Next for Hope? #2

Well, we've finished the book and I just loved seeing your eyes light up at the end of Christmas Jars when you figured it all out! What an amazing story, huh? There is a sequel to the book that just came out this fall and it's called Christmas Jars Reunion...but I'm not going to tell you about that yet.
I would love to hear your ideas of how you think the story will continue. What do you predict in Hope's future? Will she remain friends with the Maxwells? Will she have a relationship with her newly found mother Marianne? What will happen to the Christmas Jar tradition? What will happen to Adam's business now that he is gone? How about Hope's career?
What do you think about all of this? I want you to tell me what you think will happen in the next book!
And Merry Christmas to you all! See you in January!
Love,
Mrs. H

I think that hope will still be friends with the Maxwell and have a relationship with her real mom but this time a new character will come in and that will be Hopes boyfriend. Hope and her new boyfriend will continue the Christmas jar tradition. But they might start a new one as well but I’m not sure what it is but they will.

I can’t wait to see you again bye Mrs. Halterman.

I think that Christmas jars reunion is gona be about Hope and her mom enjoy life together. A someone close will die once again. I also think that hope will find a special someone and live happily ever father.

Brianna said...

I think Hope will spend time with her mom and I think they will have a really good relationship and they will bond a lot. And I think Hope will find the guy of her dreams and will get married! ☺

I think that the squeal will be about hope and her and they catch back up with all the years they been apart. And they might go back to chucks and eat a dinner there. She might be able to forgive her mom for living her there instead of taking her home to a daddy that hits.

I think the next book is going to be about hope living with her mom. I really liked Christmas jars so I think hope will end up living with her mom.

Anthony said...

Hi Mrs. Halterman I liked the tader tots! I think the new book will be about how Hope and her real mom will carry on the traditions at Chucks and her mom will live with Hope and the Maxwell’s will all be friends and live forever. Well I can’t wait until you come back.

Mrs. H.,
Seeing you Monday was amazing!! But it will be sad without Mrs. Clark, she's been a great teacher!! So back to your question. I think Hope will still be a lovely part of the Maxwell Family. But, i also think she'll be a great part of her mother's life even though she misses Louise a lot!! I think Hope and Marianne will continue with the tradition and so will the Maxwell's. I hope we can read the sequence to Christmas Jars when you come back and we can skype with Mrs. Clark like we did with you!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Summer said...

I think, she will start a new family with her mother and the Maxwell's. And eventually get married, and have a few kids of her own. Also, I hope she gets a dream come true and gets out of the newspaper and becomes something more important.

I think that hope will have a great future because she is friends with the maxwells. She will also have a great future about her mom Marianne. I think that the Christmas jar tradition will still keep going on. Also that will help the poor people.

What do I think will happen in the next book? I think Hope will continue to be friends with the Maxwell’s forever. I also think that she will have a great relationship with her newly founded mother. I think Hope will have a good career writing in the paper. Also Adams business will go to the rest of the Maxwell’s and Hope will help with the business. That’s what I think will happen in the next book of Christmas jars. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear Mrs. H.
I predict that Hope will discover in the future that her mom was just trying to be a mom , but Marianna wasn’t a good mom though for just putting her daughter in a dinner . I think her future will be very bright. I think the whole Maxwell’s family will want her to come around still so I think they will ! I think she will keep her mom in her thoughts and I think they will still talk and be family like they should. I think the Christmas jars will still be a tradition it will carry on for a life time ! I think his family will take care of his business because I don’t think they will allow the Adam’s business down. I Think Hope’s career will be bright if she keep herself straight. I think all of this was a great way to review of the book . I think it will be about hope and how her mom became more of a family and how it went maybe ! Merry Christmas too Mrs, Halterman!! Love you,
Tiffany E.

wesley said...

I think hope will like her life now because she has her mom to take care of her . I think she will still like the Maxwell family because they took her mom to see hope at chuck chicken and biscuits. The Christmas jars will keep on in the next book because its told people its good to give than to get .Now that adam Maxwell is dead I think his business will fall apart .

angel said...

I predict in Hopes future that she will live with her mom until she passes away. I think she will always be friends with the Maxwell’s. Cause of what they did for her mother and herself. I think she will have a very close relationship with her mother. So they can get to no each other a whole lot more. Maybe everyone will keep doing the Christmas jars for a long time so they can help people out that have no money and they need help out with things in there life. Not really sure what will happen to his career maybe he gave it to one of his brothers. I think this was all amazing because I had no clue that she was going to find her mother ever I thought maybe she wouldn’t ever find her. I am not sure what will happen in the next book they will come out with. It was nice seeing you the other day. It brightened my day to see you! I cant wait to see you. I hope you and your husband have a good Christmas.

Ryan said...

I think hope will stay friends with the Maxwells and I think Hope and her mom will live with each other.I think Hope will get married and Hope and the Maxwells will do the Christmas Jars.

lori said...

I think in the next book that hope and her mother will still be friends with the Maxwell family. And they will still give Christmas jars out to people that need them. I think that hope and her mother are going to get in a fight be cause hope mite get mad that her mother is married again and y did her mother leave her. That is what I predicte about mite will happen in the next book.

morgan said...

i also predict that hope will have a good relationship with her newly mother named marianne. i think that the christmas jar tradition with keep going on. i think that someone else will take over adams business because he isn't there anymore.Hopes carer might be over and last she can find some where else to do it. in the next book i think that it will tell u about all the qustoins u asked me .thats what i think about all this.merry christmas

brittany said...

Okay? I think that hope will continue to have a good relationship with her found mother…and then the other queshtion I think that she will continue to be friends with the Maxwells. Why? Because they have done everything for hope like gave her a place to live and everything.. The third queshtion is um I think that Adams business maybe? Hope will open it back up. But that’s what I think might happen. And the last queshtion is what do I think about hopes career???? Well I think her career will be that she will open Adams business back up since he has past away..

Whitney E. said...

Okay?… First question,, I think that hope will move on with her life along with her mother since she has found her. Second question um, yes she probably will remain friends with the maxwells because they are the ones that were there for her . Third question they most likely will keep doing the Christmas jars are helping out some people . Forth question….I think that the adam’s business will probably shut down because there is no one to keep it going . LAST question….I also think that hope will quit her career and let her mother take care of her since she wasn’t there for most of her life .

michael r said...

I think Hope and her mother will stay together and Hope will get married to a good guy. She and Hanna will be friends for now and than Hanna will think that Hope can help with Christmas jars. Between Hope and Marianne their relationship will start to go up. I think the Christmas jar tradition will still continue.

zach said...

I think that Cristmas Jar Reuinion is going to be about Hope and her family are going to have a reunion for Cristmas Jars. And I also think that this book is going to be great.

Chanine said...

I think that in the next Christmas Jars Hope will stay friends with the maxwells and have a relationship with her real mom and keep working for the news paper and Adams shop stay up and running because of Adams oldest daughter.

Crystal said...

I think that Hope will keep her job and write about all that she went through. Then I think that she’s going to stay with her real mother. She’ll stay friends with the Maxwells. I think they’ll keep Adam’s business and keep it running.

Georgie S. said...

Dear Ms. Halterman,
What do I think is next for Hope, well she is going to send a LOT of time with her mom and she mite indorses her to the Maxwell’s. Hopes job, well it might go well for a good amount of time, but then it will go way down, she not going to do so good! Her mom might move in with her. But they will always be good friends with the Maxwell’s! ☺

Lyndsey said...

I think Hope will take over Adam’s business now that he is gone. But I still think Hope will still be writing her story’s for the newspaper but less, and I think that she will write about the business more.
