Awesome book review!

The book I am going to review today is called Honey! The author’s name is Sarah Weeks she also wrote other book’s called, Pie and Cheese. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. The book is about a girl named Melody who lives in Royal, Indiana with only her dad and herself. But it doesn’t bother her too much that she doesn’t have a mom since she passed away when she was just a baby. One night she overhears her dad calling someone “Honey”, and thinks her dad has a new girlfriend and is keeping it a secret from her.  Melody is happy that er dad has a new girlfriend (she’d been wishing that for a long time), but is not happy that her dad is keeping it a secret from her. Together with her best friend Nick she they try and figure out who “Honey” is. Meanwhile, a pug named Mo is new to  Royal, Indiana. He doesn’t remember a lot a bout when he was a puppy, but he keeps on having the same dream that always has the same girl in it. He thinks there is something special about the girl.

This is Honey but she also            wrote Pie & Cheese

I think Melody is very cool because she doesn’t care about what other people think about her. I know this because on page 3 it says, ” I don’t care what people think.” and on page 3 her neighbor- Teeny -says,”How come your hair’s so short?” and Melody replies,” ‘Cause I like it that way.” I think Melody changed from the beginning to the end because in the beginning she didn’t want to go to the beehive- The salon -and at the end she actually liked going to the salon.

The book takes place in Royal, Indiana during May. They sometimes use the setting to show the mood of the day like, on page 105 it says,”Sunday morning when Melody woke up, the sky was an ominous gray and the raindrops were pelting the windowpanes like spitballs.” This makes the mood feel sad and gloomy (dreary). Also on page 113 it says,”Mo hated rain and he hated thunder and lightning even more.” and, “The ground was muddy and Mo stepped carefully around the puddles.” This makes me feel dismal.

Overall, I think Honey is a great book. In the beginning the book is not that happy, but if you read ’till the end then it gets happier and happier. So if you are up for a book that makes you feel happy and makes you feel joyful and want to smile, then you should read Honey!

Thanks,                                                                                                                                                                                                            Jen  🙂

One thought on “Awesome book review!

  1. This has become one of my favorite books. I think I may read this aloud next year. I may even like it better than PIE! Keep writing book reviews. I love reading about what people think of books and I can find interesting new books to read myself.
