	"Heartwarming…and inspiring…I loved it!" - M. Evan Wolkenstein, author of Turtle Boy, winner of the 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Award  "A gentle coming-of-age tale of friendship, family and faith that revels in the small moments of Jewish life." - Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of Frankie and Bug, We Are Inevitable, and If I Stay  "At once Jewish and universal." - Madelyn Rosenberg, coauthor of Not Your All-American Girl and This Is Just a Test, a Sydney Taylor Book Award Honor Book ​​​​​​​ ​​​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. 
	Praise for Honey and Me:  ​​​​​​​"A heartwarming story of friendship and family that transcends the changing chapters of life. Honey and Me paints an inspiring picture of what holds us aloft as we grow. I loved it!" - M. Evan Wolkenstein, author of Turtle Boy, winner of the 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Award ​​​​​​​ "A gentle coming-of-age tale of friendship, family and faith that revels in the small moments of Jewish life." - Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of Frankie and Bug, We Are Inevitable, and If I Stay ​​​​​​​ "Set in a modern Orthodox community, Honey and Me has the feel of being at once Jewish and universal. It creates the right recipe for a friendship coming-of-age story. I finished this book with some of the saltwater tears that normally come with Passover, along with the warm, potato kugel feeling of celebrating family life and Jewish joy." - Madelyn Rosenberg, coauthor of Not Your All-American Girl and This Is Just a Test, a Sydney Taylor Book Award Honor Book       Meira Drazin is a prolific freelance writer who has published dozens of articles about parenting and topics of Jewish interest.
