As the thin line between magic and reality starts to blur, Carol must decide for herself what is possible-and what it means to be true to her roots. But as summer wears on and the heat bears down, Carol finds herself drawn to him, fascinated by the crazy stories he tells her about a healing tree, a green-glass lake, and the bees that will bring back the rain and end a hundred years of drought. At first, Carol avoids prickly Grandpa Serge.
While her friends are spending their summers having pool parties and sleepovers, twelve-year-old Carolina-Carol-is spending hers in the middle of the New Mexico desert, helping her parents move the grandfather she’s never met into a home for people with dementia. I thoroughly enjoyed The Hour of the Bees and think you will, too. Since then I’ve met Lindsay and heard her speak as she came through Albuquerque on book tour. I first heard about this book through a Nerdy Book Club post last year and was so impressed I approached Lindsay for a Classroom Connections interview.
