HONEY BUTTER

HONEY BUTTER by Millie Florence

Wow, wow, wow! Where do I start with this book? Another TOP PICK for 2024!!

 Author Millie Florence (who was 13 years old when she wrote this book- yes, you heard me right!) brings us smack dab into the world of Jamie Johnson. Jamie is an outgoing girl who has a unique hobby. She collects paint cards. You know what I'm talking about right? The paint swatches that you pick up from Lowes or Home Depot that have a sample of a paint color along with an absolutely marvelous name. (For us adults those names take us back to our Crayola Crayons days, don't they?!) She keeps all of her cards in a shoe box that goes everywhere with her, and as she encounters people and the world she associates them with colors in her collection. But Jamie has a problem in her world. It's her older sister, Erica.

Erica and Jamie share a room, a family, and an intense dislike for each other, but they're still sisters. When Jamie overhears Erica telling her friends that she hates her, Jamie at first is devastated, but ups the game and confides to her best friend, Laren, (that happens to be homeschooled) that she hates her sister as well. But Laren's got a story for Jamie about siblings, hate, and tragedy that just might make Jamie rethink her relationship with her sister.

Oh just one more little thing for you all! I like to check out my authors sometimes, so I went to Millie Florence's website. She offers Honey Butter as a free EBook or Audiobook there. I'm including the link for you here! (This is purely of my own doing. I receive no commission from this author!) https://millieflorence.com/
