    About this audiobook

    For a girl like Melody and a dog like Mo, life can be both sticky and sweet.

    Melody has lived in Royal, Indiana, for as long as she can remember. It's been just her and her father, and she's been okay with that. But then she overhears him calling someone Honey -- and suddenly it feels like everyone in Royal has a secret. It's up to Melody and her best friend, Nick, to piece together the clues and discover why Honey is being hidden.
     
    Meanwhile, a dog named Mo is new to Royal. He doesn't remember much from when he was a puppy . . . but he keeps having dreams of a girl he is bound to meet someday. This girl, he's sure, will change everything.
     
    In Honey, Sarah Weeks introduces two characters -- one a girl, one a dog-- who are reaching back further than their memories in order to figure out where they came from and where they're going. It's a total treat from beginning to end.

      We liked the whole story! It kept us captivated.
    • 3/5
      Narrated by Rebecca Soler. Melody suspects her widowed father is dating someone but who? A dog named Mo has dreams of a girl he is waiting to meet. Who is she? Soler brings an appropriately youthful voice to Melody's story. I didn't quite buy that Melody made such a leaping conclusion about her father's girlfriend, but then she's 10 years old...
    • 3/5
      Melody lives with her serious but loving father. Her mother died when she was born. She notices that her father has been behaving strangely lately, and determines that he is secretly in love - something Melody has been hoping would happen for years. But who is the "honey" she overheard him talking to on the phone one day? She and her best friend Nick decide to investigate.Bee-bee is a single woman who owns a hair salon in town, and her dog, Mo, she got from Meldoy's father when his wife died. Although Mo loves Bee-bee, he always dreams of a young girl being his perfect owner.The story is sweet and well told, but a bit shallow and predictable. None of the characters have especially changed or learned anything at the end of the book.
    • 5/5
      It all starts with a late-night phone call: ten-year-old Melody overhears her father calling someone "Honey," and she couldn't be more thrilled. After all, Melody's mother died when Melody was born, and she longs for a loving stepmother -- maybe someone who will make cookies, like her friend Nick's stepmother Jenny. Melody is determined to figure out who in their small town could be her father's love interest . . . but what if it's someone terrible? Suddenly, Melody is not as excited about the possibility of her father dating, but she's still determined to get to the bottom of things. And what better place to track down a rumor than the town's new beauty salon?I've been known to comment on how many folksy small-town stories there are, and how few of them are done well. Well, honey, this is one of the few! Weeks does an excellent job of portraying Melody's complicated emotions surrounding the mother she never got a chance to know, the father she adores, the stepmother she hopes for, and the one she fears she might get. The secondary characters are quirky but not unbelievable, and the story is sweet but not saccharine. This is a book to savor!
    • 5/5
      I liked this book because it pushes readers to think about tough issues. This story explores that predicament, and it also highlights the importance of our relationships with others in the face of loss and misunderstanding. It also illuminates the significance of honesty and communication a good reminder for both young AND old readers. Melody has lived in Royal, Indiana, for as long as she can remember. Melody never knew her mother. She died just after Melody was born, and it has been just her and her father for nearly eleven years now. But then she overhears him calling someone Honey and suddenly it feels like everyone in Royal has a secret. It's up to Melody and her best friend, Nick, to piece together the clues and discover why Honey is being hidden. Many middle grade books recently highlight young characters in need of healing after losing a close family member or friend in their lives. This seems to be a popular topic in children’s literature, because it’s something that young people, sadly, may be going through. These stories are important because they don’t sugarcoat the struggle to be happy after losing a parent or other loved one.
