How to Bee by Bren MacDibble

4.0

Our youngest book club (7-10yr olds) just read the recently CBCA nominated How To Bee which was a challenging read set in a slightly altered Australia when the use of pesticides has destroyed the bee populations - very topical! The kids loved the main character of Peony who was smart and brave and had lots of great discussion around why her dialogue was different and about whether her mother's fate was deserved! I would recommend this for 8-12 yr olds.

We scored it:

7 / 3 / 8 / 4 / 9.75 / 10 / 6 / 9 / 8
