In a world without bees, 9 year-old Peony wants to be the best 'bee' the farm has ever seen. But her mother wants her to live in the city. Torn between two different worlds, fierce and loyal Peony fights to protect her family and the world she loves.

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.

This powerful, engrossing and engaging novel is a great introduction to dystopian fiction and tackles environmental issues, poverty, social inequality and problematic family relationships. Peony is a strong and inspiring protagonist and, despite some of the darker themes, this is a story filled with hope, as unlikely friendships blossom and a strong sense of loyalty prevails.
