Hope’s Revolutionary War Diary by Kristiana Gregory is a children’s historical fiction series set in Revolutionary-era Philadelphia. The books follow a girl named Hope as she lives through the events of the American Revolution, and they are presented in the diary format that Gregory has used in much of her work.
The series includes six entries published between 2001 and 2004, with some titles being reissued or reformatted editions. Gregory uses the diary conceit to bring young readers close to the daily experience of life during wartime, mixing historical events with a personal, accessible voice.
