Honestly Elliott

Elliott’s closest friend moved away, and he’s not sure where he fits into his own family, especially since his dad and new stepmom are expecting a baby. His only solace is cooking, where he can control the outcome, testing exciting recipes and watching his favorite cooking shows.

When he’s paired with the super-popular Maribel for a school-wide business project, Elliott worries they won’t see eye to eye. But Maribel is also looking for a new way to show others her true self. Sometimes the least likely friends have the most in common...and sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you learn what’s right.

Exploring themes of family, friendship, and boyhood, Gillian McDunn weaves another heart-bursting tale about a kid learning how to be his best self.
