Summary:
To Milla Bloom everything seems easy for her best friend, Honey Wine. Milla envies Honey's confidence, her charm, and her big, chaotic, loving family -- especially when they provide a welcome escape from Milla's small family and their silent house. The two friends do everything and go everywhere together. So when Honey joins Millas school for sixth grade, why is it not as great as Milla expected? Will she ever find the courage to step out of Honey's shadow and into her own spotlight? Set in a modern Orthodox Jewish community in an American suburb, Honey and Me follows Milla and Honey through the course of sixth grade, and the holidays of the Jewish calendar, as they encounter dramas large and small: delivering meals to their unpredictable elderly neighbor, trying to impress the most popular teacher, accidentally choosing the same topic for their school's public speaking contest, going to their first bat mitzvahs and studying for their own, and so much more. When tragedy strikes close, Milla must learn to define her own strengths and find confidence. Her relatable struggle -- filled with honest and tender observations -- comes together to form a classic coming-of-age story that is funny, wise, and authentic. Provided by publisher.
