Book Reviews

Honey and Me by Karen McCombie, reviewed by Claire Colbert.

This is a book that I would say is aimed at a child in Key Stage 2.  It is about a girl whose parents are separating who calls on a former imaginary friend to help her through the difficult times.  The book is a dyslexia friendly book and helps show how things improve despite there being “sad times”.  It emphasises the role of friends and talking/writing letters to help you through the difficult times.  This book was a very simple and clear book however having read this the only comment that I would make would be the difficulty for some children in understanding the role of the imaginary friend if they had not had one before. 

The book was very clear and advised the role that friends generally have which could be a valuable lesson for a child experiencing difficulties following separation.
