Literature / The Hopewell Club

Go To

They share their feelings, their dreams, their fears, and end up becoming friends at least for the day...

...the problem comes when Monday arrives, and they realize they can't go back to normality: for the better or the worse, they already have affectead each other.

This is a very loosely new version of the original books in Spanish, of the El Club de Hopewell saga, with more plot and structure while trying to preserve the comedy and spoofy aspects of the series.

    • Lisa Novak: a named cheerleader that had a single line of dialogue in the original books, it's more prominent here.
    • Mac Coddolli: Football captain, that apperead in two episodes, has the same treatment, becoming a more relevant antagonist.
    • Salvatore Biancardi: already somewhat prominent in the original saga, it's even more important in this version.
  • Breakfast Club: The main point of the book is what happens AFTER such plot.

  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Sarah and Principal LaFontaine; Will, to some degree, at times.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Mostly Jake, but Allyson has her moments.
