Interest Age 8-12 Reading Age 8+ Karen McCombie writes straight to the heart of pre-teens, and Honey and Me is a perfect McCombie novel. Kirsten has just moved up to secondary school and is really enjoying the fresh start. Life at home is difficult however: Mum and Dad are arguing all the time, and her brother is getting into trouble with his teachers. She doesn’t feel she can talk about it to her new school mates, so turns to her oldest friend instead. Talking to Honey really helps, as it always does, so why does Kirsten need to keep her friend a secret? Involving, reassuring and full of truths, this will go down really well with young girls. ~ Andrea Reece
