Can you imagine what it might be like if we no longer had honeybees? Peony lives on a farm in a future in which this has happened—and her fondest wish is to become a Bee herself. To be a Bee in Peony’s time means that you are a small, nimble young person who can climb trees and use a wand to pollinate fruit trees so that crops can grow–and so that the farm where most of her family lives and works can prosper. Peony loves the farm, and can’t imagine living any other way—so what will she do when her mother arrives one day, and takes Peony into the city? Ages 9 and up. Digital copies available.
