| Publisher Description: Adopted Teen Sophie Saffron has a secret--the bee that flew in her window on rainy evening is far more than she seems. She is Phoebee, the Queen of the Bees, and she carries all the secrets of their ancient wisdom. She has an urgent message for Sophie, who adopts Phoebee and her mission. She must save the honeybees worldwide--before it is too late for them and all mankind. Sophie recruits her brother Rolando, and friend Sokuen to sting the community into bee-conscious action . "This magical, insightful book is an inspiration and a warning to us at a critical time on planet Earth. It serves as a hopeful yet practical guidebook, bridging our modern world of loss, abandonment, and disconnection that endangers our very existence, helping us to find our way back to the stunning ancient gifts of the bees as they invite us to see again and renew our sacred connection. Beecoming Sophie is a captivating, important, heartfelt, and mind-blowing book." --Jennifer Buffett, the NoVo Foundation recipient of the September 2008 Clinton Global Citizen Award with her husband Peter Buffett |
