How to Bee by Bren MacDibble

Sale!

£5.99

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, much like the pear farmers of Hanyuan in China are forced to do today.  Peony wants to be a bee, a hand pollinator: she’s light, she’s 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 nine it’s hard to get everyone around you to go along with your plan.
