 Koja incorporates facts and folklore about bees in this spare and haunting novel . . .
 Her understated, tightly focused language evokes vivid scenes and heady emotions . . . each line of dialogue, each interaction illuminating struggles that readers face as well.

 A layered, intricate, emotional read.  This story is thick like honey, humming with beautiful imagery and dialogue . . . A definite choice for reluctant readers looking for something with a more creative, "emo" slant.
