The Queen Bee and Me

Meg has been best friends with Beatrix forever, but this year she wants to take a science course instead of dance class, which makes her feel like she's losing her oldest friendship.

When a quirky girl named Hazel moves to town and Meg is partnered with her on a science project about bees, Meg learns a lot about being Queen Bee, both in a hive and in middle school.

As Beatrix is less than welcoming to Hazel, Meg feels her loyalty fraying.

Choosing Hazel could mean ending her oldest friendship, a choice more difficult than Meg ever expected.

This heartbreaking and empowering story explores the challenging dynamics of middle-school friendship in a way listeners of any age will appreciate.
