Book summary

Senior year is flying by, the prom is approaching, and Dana, her best friend, Avra, and Avras boyfriend, Emil, are about to encounter the pains and pleasures of that intricate beehive called adult life. While Dana plans on college, Avra plots escape once school is overand plans to take Emil along for the ride. What does Emil want? Hes not saying. Dana studies bees for a biology project, fascinated by their habits and their mythological imagery  but in real life, emotions can sting, and while twos company, these three may just become a crowd. As Dana reminds us, in every hive there is only one queen bee.
 
With remarkably textured language and a distinctive heroine, Kissing the Bee is a novel of rare depth and stark honesty that will draw readers in from the very first page.
 
Kissing the Bee is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
