Winner of the Keystone State Reading Award

It’s 1944, and much of the world is at war: Fourteen-year-old Teddy is waging her own private war against the world - especially against her twin brother and her perfect, and perfectly despised, mother. When their mother dumps the twins at their grandmother’s house for the summer, Teddy faces her enemies with arrogance and a sharp anger. She’s determined not to let anyone get too close, and she spends the days on her own, exploring the beach and her grandmother’s fascinating attic. But as the summer goes on, Teddy uncovers secrets about the past, a past that has left her with badly scarred hands and has left her mother and grandmother bitterly divided. The more Teddy learns, the more she wonders how long her family can let their old resentments keep them apart, and what it will take to end her own war with them and with herself.

Praise for Honor Bright

“As World War II rages overseas, domestic battles keep a Washington family simmering in this vigorously told, unconventionally cast story ... A tour de force with a tough, unforgettable protagonist.” ---- Kirkus Review - Pointer

“Platt’s prose is as forceful as her main character, realistically conveying the torments of true mother-daughter conflict while sustaining a plot that develops and surprises to the ending. --- Booklist
