The Bees
by Laline Paull
I had no idea what to expect when my friend recommended a fictional story about bees, but my love of ecology and fantasy made me curious. For the first time since my childhood, I found myself fighting sleep at 3 a.m. so that I could read more. Gorgeous imagery, immersive storytelling, and fascinating characters had my eyes glued to this book. I'm blown away by Laline Paull's imagination and ability. This book is equal parts melting into the soil of a flower-dotted meadow as the sun warms your skin, rooting for the underdog, and surviving the vicious games of power and control in a royal court.
