"Readers will revel in the fun and fantastical camp where campers live in the treetops, and everything from message delivery to the aerial walkway system is mechanized through a special kind of steam power." booknews (Canadian Children's Book Centre)

Winnie Nash is loud, lovable, and definitely not your sunshine. Nicole Melleby delivers a middle grade gem that explores identity, secrets, and the healing power of grandma love. I felt this one in my bones.

Book Review: Winnie Nash is not Your Sunshine by Nicole Melleby
★★★★★ Nicole Melleby has done it again. Winnie Nash Is Not Your Sunshine is heartfelt, tender, and real in a way that immediately hit home for me. This middle-grade novel isn't just a summer coming-of-age story. It's a deep dive into what happens when you’re told to keep quiet about the things that matter most. Twelve-year-old Winnie Nash is shipped off to her grandma's house for the summer while her mom focuses on her mental health and a high-risk pregnancy.
