Summary:For June Jackson, middle school is hard enough--but it's even harder when a fairy godmother grants her the ability to only tell the truth ALL THE TIME! Is it a blessing... or a major curse? June Jackson is an expert at exceeding people's expectations. She can't help it; she's a people-pleaser! She'll do everything she can to be the perfect student, daughter, and friend, even if it means ignoring her own feelings sometimes. Cue Victoria, June's secret fairy godmother, who blesses June with the ability to never tell a lie in the hopes that June will finally be honest with her loved ones. Instead of telling them the truth to their faces, June turns to a secret online blog--the only place she can write out her true feelings without hurting people. When all of her responsibilities start to pile on--field hockey, the school paper, family responsibility, her friends--June begins feeling so overwhelmed that sometimes it feels hard to breathe. Not to mention June is desperately trying to figure out how to overthrow the spell at the same time! When the pressures reach new heights, will Honest June finally be able to break free and tell whole truth and nothing but?
