Twelve-year-old Flor faces a bittersweet summer with a pageant, a frenemy, and a hive full of honey in this โsweet and satisfying read about friendship, sisterhood, and changeโ (Kirkus Reviews).
Itโs the summer before eighth grade and Flor is stuck at home and working at her familyโs mattress store, while her best friend goes off to band camp (probably to make new friends). It becomes even worse when sheโs asked to compete in the local honey pageant. This means Flor has to spend the summer practicing her talent (recorder) and volunteering (helping a recluse bee-keeper) with Candice, her former friend whoโs still bitter about losing the pageant crown to Flor when they were in second grade. And she canโt say no.
Then thereโs the possibility that Flor and her family are leaving to move in with her momโs family in New Jersey. And with how much her mom and dad have been fighting lately, is it possible that her dad may not join them? Flor canโt let that happen. She has a lot of work to do.
