<p><strong>A story about family, loyalty, kindness and bravery, set against an all-too-possible future where climate change has forever changed the way we live.</strong></p>

<p>In a world where real bees are extinct, the quickest, bravest kids climb the fruit trees and pollinate the flowers by hand. Peony lives with her sister, Magnolia, and her grandfather on a fruit farm outside the city. All Peony really wants is to be a bee. Even though she is only nine — and bees must be ten — Peony already knows all there is to know about being a bee and she is determined to achieve her dream.</p>

<p>Life on the farm is a scrabble, but there is enough to eat and a place to sleep, and there is love. Then Peony’s mother arrives to take her away from everything she has ever known. Peony is taken to the city to work for a wealthy family. Will Peony’s grit and quick thinking be enough to keep her safe?</p>

<p><em>How to Bee </em>is a beautiful and fierce novel for younger readers, and the voice of Peony will stay with you long after you read the last page.</p>
