Overview
After his older brother is arrested, James is sent away from Chicago to rural Wisconsin to live with a grandmother he barely remembers-a reclusive old lady who keeps bees, studies the marsh, and fills her cabin with skulls, plants, and scientific equipment. With no friends, no phone signal, and no television, James feels like he's been exiled to boredomville. But as James struggles to adjust, he begins to notice things he never paid attention to before: the quiet rhythm of the creek, the fragile balance of life in the marsh, and the steady, purposeful hum of his grandmother's bees. With the help of his new friends Rosa and Hank, and his loyal dog Mephitis, he uncovers who's been burning local beehives-and what's been hurting his family. The Song of the Bees is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about resilience, connection, and finding your place in an unfamiliar world.
