    About The Secret of Honeycake

    Hurricane is quiet while her Aunt Claire is a force of nature with very particular ideas–and a host of Latin sayings to back them up. When Hurricane gets stuck living with her, she retreats into herself…until a series of unexpected friends, including a mangy cat, help her find her voice in a whole new way.

    A recipe for The World’s Most Comforting, Twelve-Layer Honeycake:

    1 quiet girl named Hurricane, who runs like the wind along the Mighty Atlantic with her old dog Brody-Bear.

    1 imperious aunt, who steps up when Hurricane’s world turns upside down.
     1 kind-hearted boy, who helps wounded animals (and may smell a little of fish)

    1 lonely and flea-bitten cat with a ragged ear and a crooked tail.

    1 gentle chauffeur, who knows exactly what to say…and when not to say a thing.

    Mix them all together in big, fancy house in the city.  What you get might surprise you.
