I LOVE this book! The characters are so wonderful, so hugable. Protagonist June is strong-willed, fun and smart, and her past and future Junes, who she speaks to on a magic laptop, give us a fantastic look at how people change and grow. I loved their interactions with each other.
June's best friend Calvin and her parents are equally lovely, drawn so real that I feel like I could go to Tanglewood and meet them.

I absolutely adore Kim Ventrellas middle grade novel, Hello, Future Me. In this charming book, twelve-year-old June struggles to accept her parents upcoming divorce.

Ventrella doesnt shy away from the hard stuff but addresses complicated issues with a light hand, spot-on middle grade humor, a dash of magic, and an endearing cast of characters making Hello, Future Me a

Im so thankful for this book! It has been the first physical book Ive been able to read and focus on in awhile breaking my anxiety-induced reading slump. Its the perfect blend of real-life (dealing with divorcing parents as a twelve year isnt fun) and magic. And oh! How delightfully whimsical the magic is! Also...I, um, cried at the end...but in a good way. It filled my heart with all the feels and important life reminders. It moved quickly and read easily, making it completely accessible to

There are so many readers who desperately need this book. I loved it! June jumps off the pages of this book and my heart aches for her when her world is rocked. Desperate to solve things she turns to magic, which has strange and uncomfortable consequences. The theme of the book is a message so many need to hear: Sometimes life sucks and you will make it through. Highly recommend for those fantasy readers who like a little bit of spooky and strange too. Well done!
Absolutely loved Kim Ventrellas upcoming MG, Hello, Future Me. The story brings readers into the mindset of 12 year old June as she grapples with her parents pending divorce and a bit of magic that goes awry. Be on the lookout for it this August!
