Honest June

By: Tina Wells

Narrated by: Tyla Collier

Who wouldn't want a fairy godmother? But when June's puts her under a spell where she cannot tell a lie, the truth is middle school just got a lot harder.

The truth hurts. Sixth-grader June Jackson learned that lesson early. (She told her BFF one time she didn’t like her shoes. They fought for a week!) Which is why now June tells people what they what to hear. Who cares about a small fib if it makes her friends and family happy?

But when June’s fairy godmother appears in a cloud of glitter, she’s grants June with the ability to only tell the truth. Now, June has no choice but to be honest about how she feels. And the truth is June feels stressed out. Middle school is no joke—between field hockey, friend drama, and her parents' high expectations, June is so overwhelmed that sometimes it’s hard to breathe.

When everything spirals out of control, will June find freedom in telling the whole truth and nothing but—or is she destined to battle the curse for the rest of her life?

Really nice!

A very good example of being true to yourself! Loved the story and the narrator has a pleasant voice.

Be true to yourself!

I really liked this book. It taught me to tell the truth all the time. Even if it will hurt their feelings. You can be nice about it. Also I learned to be kind and respectful to everyone especially myself because I matter. I don’t have to be just like my parents I should always be me!
