Description

Set in a future Australia in a time when there are no bees and children are employed to scramble through the fruit trees with feather wands, like the pear farmers of Hanyuan in China do today. Peony wants to be a bee, a hand pollinator. She's light, fast, and even though she's a year too young, she's going to be the best bee the farm has ever seen...except when you're only 9, it's hard to get everyone around you to go along with your plan. A beautiful and fierce novel for middle grade readers, 'How to Bee' explores an all-too-possible dystopian social landscape with an intensely compelling and original voice.

Media Reviews

How to Bee is a moving, intelligent novel, offering plenty of food for thought and a cast of appealing- and not so appealing – characters which linger with you long after the story is finished...

-- Sue Wilsher * North Somerset Teachers' Book Award blog *

How to Bee is perfect. It gave me the same shivers as Skellig. Not a word is wasted and the voice is compelling. This is a future classic.
