Zinnia and the Bees by Danielle Davis

Note:  I received a copy of this book in an author sponsored giveaway on Twitter.

Zinnia is having a very bad day.  First, her "yarn bombing" prank goes awry, then her brother disappears, and, to top it all off, bees move into her hair! As she deals with one problem after another, she learns the true meaning of friendship, trust, and home.  

This clever story is told intermittently through Zinnia's voice and the voice of Bee 641 who is in charge of finding a new home when an accident forces (or allows) her bee family to find a new hive.  It is witty, clever, and just really, really good.

I don't knit, but I feel the need to learn how to do so in order to create some of my own "yarn bombs".

Congratulations, Danielle Davis, on this wonderful debut novel.  I can't wait to not only share Zinnia's and Bee 641's story with my students, but to also see what you produce next.
