Kissing the Bee

(2) YA In this pensive novel, Dana draws parallels between her life and the lives of honeybees: the queen is Dana's self-absorbed best friend, and Dana is the worker bee. Koja eloquently conveys the fog of melancholy and apprehension that surrounds Dana, but luckily for her, human society isn't as rigid as that of the hive; even a lowly worker can ascend to the throne.
