Honest June by Tina Wells, Brittney Bond (Illustrated by) Series: Honest June (#1)


June tries to make everyone happy, so she tells little lies here and there.  When she moves into middle school, she has more homework and more extracurricular activities.  She's over whelmed.  And then her fairy godmother shows up.  She puts a spell on June that makes her tell the truth.

Random House Books for Young Readers and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on December 28th.

June doesn't want to tell the truth because she will disappoint people.  She thinks she will lose friendships, maybe even be asked to leave her home.  But she has no choice.

As she finds herself telling the truth, she finds that it makes her feel better.  It does create some problems but it also lets people understand what pressures she's been under.

As she works her way through her relationships with the truth, it gets better.  

If she sticks with the truth, it will make her life easier.
