The Hour of the Bees by Lindsay Eager

[Barb]

I am glad I️ read this book and I quite liked it for several reasons. I️ am not sure who else would like it and especially middle grade students. I️ think it is a book more adults will appreciate.

I️ like that the book was set in New Mexico. What a pleasant change and I️ happened to be in New Mexico when I️ started reading it. I️ also appreciate an author delving into dementia as young people need to know more about the disease. More and more people develop dementia now.

Parts of the story were very repetitive—Once upon a time. However I️ was pulled into the story wanting to know how it ended.

I️ would be interested to know how students react to the book.
