Zinnia and the Bees by Danielle Davis

5.0

What a sweet-as-honey story! I was so excited to obtain an ARC of this story at the LA Times Festival of Books. Danielle Davis has written a wonderful debut that made me feel like a kid, and I am a sucker for books that take me back like that. Zinnia's voice is one that I will not soon forget, for it is full of both charm and maturity. I enjoyed the zaniness of the bees in Zinnia's hair, and I felt the rawness of Zinnia's relationships with her loved ones, as well as her ever-important and growing relationship with herself. This is a wonderful coming-of-age book, and I look forward to what other stories Danielle Davis has in store for the world!
