About this listen

Fans of Judy Blume, The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street, and The Penderwicks will love this funny, charismatic story of a Jewish girl striving to forge her own identity in the shadow of her fearless best friend.

* "An effortless story that is both widely relatable and culturally specific...highly recommended." - School Library Journal, starred review

Milla and Honey have been best friends since forever.

Milla envies Honey's confidence, her charisma, and her big, chaotic family-especially when they provide a welcome escape from Milla's own small family and quiet house. In their close-knit Jewish community, the two girls do everything together, from delivering meals to an ill-tempered elderly neighbor, to shopping at a local thrift store, celebrating the holidays, and going to their first bat mitzvahs while studying for their own.

So when Honey joins Milla's school for sixth grade, why is it not as great as Milla expected? Can their friendship survive all the ups and downs the year has in store for them? And will Milla ever find the courage to step out of Honey's shadow and into her own spotlight?

Charming, authentic, and wise, Honey and Me is a classic coming-of-age story filled with relatable middle school struggles, keen insight, and sparkling humor.

Critic reviews

A 2023 Sydney Taylor Award Honor Book

A Kirkus Best Book of 2022

* "The need for approval and appreciation is also well developed, as is feeling connected and anchored to one's culture and religion. . . . The story's structure is chronological, with sections named for major events in the Jewish calendar, emphasizing the way that Milla's life is organized around them. . . . Authentic, joyful, achingly real." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "A poignant coming-of-age middle grade novel that follows . . . two best friends navigating social circles, mother-daughter relationships, religious identity, and the complexities of sixth grade bat mitzvah season. . . . While the tweens are a part of a close-knit, modern Orthodox community, the novel showcases the diversity in traditions, expectations, and schools within that community. . . . An effortless story that is both widely relatable and culturally specific. This excellent title featuring main characters not often represented in contemporary realistic fiction is highly recommended." - School Library Journal, starred review
