I love Ms. Week's realistic fiction (see Pie)!
Fifth grader Melody has enjoyed her life with her father in the mid-west. When she was born, her mother passed away and that is all she knows. Her father is reluctant to share any information about her mother. Then she overhears her father speaking on the phone late one night and calls the person "Honey". Could her father have a romantic interest that he is not sharing with her? Melody and her best friend Nick set out to discover just who her father is calling "Honey". Lots of funny mishaps and an erroneous conclusion occur which move the plot along quickly.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: predicting, figurative language, expanding vocab.
**So fun- a list of nail polish names Melody creates for Bee-Bee, the new salon owner, are included in the back!
