Honey Moon is home during a horrific rainstorm when she hears howling. She decides that she must help whoever is howling. Honey and her mom find a lost dog in the park by the headless horseman statue. Why is there a headless horseman statue in the park? Even though Honey becomes attached to the lost dog, she and her mom take the dog to the dog shelter. Honey meets a girl who volunteers at the dog shelter. Honey is surprised she doesn't know her. When Honey goes home, she is trying to figure out what to do this summer when she comes up with doing dog walking to earn money. She gets her friend Becky to help with the advertising and the actual job. Will they get any dog-walking jobs?

In this illustrated story, I find myself laughing at the adventures she has with Becky. I felt for Honey when she had to leave the dog at the dog shelter. I discovered that Honey is a great friend to have even if mistakes happen. I finished this story with a large smile on my face.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Honey Moon is one of those girl characters any kid associates from the very start - slightly mischievous, curious as hell and eager to get out there and do BIG things, despite what mom or anyone else says.

It brought many smiles to my face reading her thoughts and following her steps.

I think this series is a fantastic start when your little one starts reading by him/herself.

I had trouble getting into this series, but I am sure much younger readers would enjoy it. It seems very funny.

Great middle grade read, I can think of quite a few kids who would love the adventures of Honey Moon and friends!

ThIs book is a delight! It was my first introduction to the Honey Moon/Harry Moon universe, and the preface at the beginning of the book was a big help in getting me caught up on not only the history of the town, but also the important characters in the novel who had been introduced previously. Because of this, the novel works well as a stand-alone story, though I do plan on reading a Harry Moon book in order to get a fuller view of the world presented within. I loved the focuses on being kind to animals, adopting shelter pets, and developing close and healthy relationships with friends and family, but the thing I was most excited about by far was having a strong young girl as the protagonist. Not only is Honey Moon brave, kind, and loyal, but she is never presented as a perfect character, and yet she not only loves herself, anyway, but makes sure the other characters—along with the reader—know that they can and should love themselves, as well, flaws and all. These kinds of young, femme, self-loving protagonists are desperately needed in children’s literature, and yet I don’t think I’ve seen one written so memorably since I was a child myself, reading Junie B. Jones and Ramona Quimby novels. Furthermore, almost every other main character in this book is also a strong girl or woman. I deeply appreciate that.

In future installments to the series, I would love to see more diverse characters—in race, religion, sexuality, gender identity and expression, ability, body size, class, and more. The lack of much diversity is the reason I am deducting a star. There is one character who isn’t white, and one grandmotherly figure who is described as “plump,” but those are the only instances of diversity from the white/middle class/Christian/thin/able-bodied/(assumed, since no hints or outright words are said to the contrary) cisgender-heterosexual characters that are not in scarce supply anywhere in Western society. People, especially children, need to see themselves represented in books; it is important for not only feeling included (the importance of which the book discusses on more than one occasion), but also for mental health. If this book had included a more diverse array of characters, it would have received a 5-star rating from me. I hope to see this wish taken to heart in sequels.

I would recommend this book for children ages 6-12, though the younger ages may need help reading at times, and even the older children might need to look up a word in a dictionary every once in a while. The author does not shy away from utilizing a large vocabulary (which I think is great!), so young readers should be encouraged to use context clues and look up any words they don’t already know.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

The story starts with Honey finding a lost dog and starting a dog-walking business during summer. She makes a new friend that gives her struggles about her being a foster kid.

It was a cute story but like the Harry Moon series, I find it boring. Still I tried and read this book but it was boring for me. I would like to learn more about Sleepy Hollow and the weirdness about it but it didn't come up.

I didn't enjoy it that much.

Honey is looking for a way to earn money. She decides to try dog walking. She gets her girlfriend who is neighbor of hers to go into business with her. But it's harder than it looks...

Rabbit Publishing and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It has been published.

I love dogs so I had to read this one. The first dog they get under contract is a St. Bernard. They are young girls and this dog is bigger than both of them. When they go to the door to talk to the owner, they almost run away because the dog is taller than they are! But he's fairly well mannered and after a test walk, they agree to take him on.

Their next challenge is a group of three Corgis. Trying to hang onto all three and not get caught up in leashes or tripped is challenge!

Then Titus' sister decides to copy their business. She's got more customers and she lords it over them. The fun part is that she often ends up on her face or her bottom because the dogs are stronger than she is. It's when they both end up on the same street and the dogs decide to play in a mud puddle, they decide they might be friends.

There's a side story about a foster girl looking for a permanent home and working at the animal shelter that's sweet and ends well.

My favorite part is the name of their business: Sleepy Hollow Howlers. This was a great read.

I have chosen not to review this title at this time.

Cute little story about Honey and her adventures. This is a book that I would read for my children if I had any. :) And the best thing about this book, besides that it is about dogs, is the wiener-dog in a hotdog-costume.

This is a cute story with some really great messages. The kids in this book are all very polite and nice, and take care of animals. I really wish there were more pictures though. This isn't really a graphic novel or comic. It has approximately one picture per chapter, which I don't think is enough to break up the text for a book like this.

I’d never heard of Harry Moon, let alone Mark Andrew Poe before I stumbled on these books in the Netgalley. I fished out some information from the depths of internet and learned that the series has numerous volumes and is very popular in the US. Having now read three volumes; Harry Moon Wand Paper Scissors, Harry Moon Halloween Nightmares and Honey Moon Dog Daze, I can see were the success comes from. The books are indeed very professionally produced and the stories perfectly tailored to the goals stated in the Rabbit Publisher’s website:

Rabbit's aspirations for our young readership:
To cultivate their minds to utmost capacity.
To become familiar with our cultural heritage.
To respect and have affection for the natural world.
To strive for excellence in creative expression in all fields of learning, literature and art.
To seek effective ways to live a fulfilling life.

The three books all have interesting stories and fabulous illustrations. I think these would be perfect for the readers from 7 – 10 years, after that they’d feel a tad bit too childish. The length of the books might prevent all 7-year-olds from tackling them through, but they could go as parent & child read-along books too.

One thing that intrigued me was, that there seems to be absolutely no information on Mark Andrew Poe in the web, other than what’s on the publisher’s own website. Is this a pen name?

I requested this book from Netgalley from the Graphic Novels and Comics list and did not expect it to be a full length written children's book so it took me a while to get through it on my computer. Reading on my computer is difficult sometimes.

The book is about a girl names Honey Moon who lives in Sleepy Hollow, a town where it is always Halloween, so weird things happen. I didn't see many of those weird things in this book though. The story starts with Honey finding a lost dog, meeting a new friend, and starting a summer dog-walking business. The obstacles she comes to though aren't really about the dog- walking or the dog she found, but about her new friend - a foster girl. Honey hopes to find her a new home much like the lost dog she found.

The book was cute, maybe a bit longer than I would have liked, but good. The plot was a bit scattered and I would have liked to learn more about this Sleepy Hollow/ Halloween all the time weirdness but that didn't really come up. Overall it was a fun way to start the Honey Moon series.

*thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

3.5 stars.
So much appeal for young girls (and boys too). This was such a fun read. I hadnt heard of any of these books before but they are really quite good. I felt that I could get into the story and it helped my attention quite well.

I found the narration stiff and unnatural. For instance, why continually refer to the family members by their whole names? The plot was cute but the writing style left a lot to be desired.

Time was too short for me to read all of this young read - I did get through to about page 80 and hardly anything had happened, so don't blame me on that one. It reads as a lot better than the partner books regarding our heroine's brother, but it's a franchise I really don't care to revisit.

If you are a dog lover like me, you will also love this book by Sofi Benitez. Honey Moon rescuing the dog she later named Stormy is the start of her and her friend Becky to start a dog walking business. Along the way, they also met Isabela who happened to be a volunteer in the animal shelter, where Honey Moon and her mom has to surrendered the dog Storm. The story of friendship and the funny antics of the dogs the Sleepy Hollow Howlers has to walk are just few of what this book made a worthwhile reading. Not to mention that young readers will also got learnt a lot from this including being responsible, compassionate and helpful.

A fun, cute book. It is fast paced and has a unique writing style. I found the names of the Moon characters to be a little silly, but in a good way. I have to wonder if the author knew about the Harvest Moon game franchise when they named a character that. Also the three dogs named Manny, Moe and Jack made me laugh out loud. Did the author see a Pep Boys commercial and get inspired or was the names a 100% coincidence? Funny, none the less.

I like how Honey is inspired to start a dog walking service after recusing Stormy. Honey seems to be a likeable character and I did enjoy how she got along with her family. I liked the hints that her Turtle backpack might be magical, or is it her imagination? I love the friendship between the three main girls and also how it ended with a possible 4th friend.

One thing that I wish would be different is more description. There seemed to be a lot of telling instead of showing, which could make some of the story a little lackluster. However, I will admit there were several times where I find myself smiling. There is something going for it, and I hope the author continues to write stories for children and adults alike.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

When there's a mystery, Honey Moon needs to solve it and she always goes where she's needed. When Honey hears howling during a stormy night in Sleepy Hollow, the town where it's Halloween all year round, she and her mother find a dog out in the storm. After looking after the dog for the night and christening her Stormy, they take her to the local animal shelter to give her the best chance at finding a forever home.

Through this experience Honey comes up with the idea for a dog walking business to keep busy during the holidays and earn some money. Along with her best friend Becky, the business begins and throughout the book there are adventures with runaway dogs, mud puddles, a competition with Honey's arch nemesis, Clarice, and lots of fun along the way.

Honey and Becky make a new friend, Isabela, who lives in a foster home. Isabela volunteers at the dog shelter and empathises with the dogs because she's also wanting to find her very own forever home.

The first in a new series and a companion to the Harry Moon series, young girls will really connect with Honey Moon. She's quirky, is a loyal and trustworthy friend, and loves to have fun and help others. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is someone that you'd want your child to be friends with.

This book subtly teaches children so many valuable lessons and values including responsibility, honesty, bravery, generosity, empathy, resilience, helping others and being a good friend. Throughout the book you hope, right along with Honey, that Stormy and Isabela both find their own forever homes.

The illustrations by Becky Minor (based on the artwork of Christina Weidman) are perfect for the target audience. The use of an illustrated dog tag at the beginning of each chapter is a really cute but effective way of communicating something about the chapter's contents.

I expect young girls to enjoy this book and want to continue reading about the new adventures Honey and her friends experience in subsequent books. I know I plan to continue reading the series. This book is both a fun read and a rewarding experience.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley (thank you very much to NetGalley, Rabbit Publishers and Diamond Book Distributors for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

Not my style and I was not able to fully commit to this book at all. I did love the artwork, though.
