🌟 The Honeys 🌟 2023 Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production for YA

We could not be more thrilled to announce that THE HONEYS has been awarded the 2023 Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production, Young Adult

“Struggling to find their place at an elite summer camp after a family tragedy, gender fluid Mars discovers a gruesome revelation. Subtle yet immersive sound effects and a narration by Pete Cross that empathetically embodies the range of characters enhances this atmospheric novel.”
