Zinnia and the Bees

(4) 4-6 Behind a strange fantasy premise is a reasonable coming-of-age story. When Zinnia's older brother suddenly leaves, she's left with only her disapproving dentist mother--and a honeybee hive in her hair. It takes a new friend to help her reconnect with her mom and find a creative solution to the bee problem. Occasional chapters from the bees' group perspective distract from Zinnia's more engaging narrative.
