Criticism Of Books Hour of the Bees

This book was pretty good. It is about a girl named Carol who just wants to be with her friends all summer like everyone else. One day her dad says she needs to help her grandpa with dimensa move, which will take the entire summer, all of her plans for the summer come crashing down. I loved how the author wrote this book using Carol's perspective and then her grandpas perspective through his stories. This book was very imaginative and overall I enjoyed it a lot.

I received a copy of Hour of the Bees to review from Walker Books Australia. When I first read the synopsis of this I knew it would be something Id like.This book follows Carol as she comes to terms with spending her summer holidays in the middle of nowhere with a grandfather shes never met. When Serge starts to tell her a story, Carol feels a connection with him. A connection that grows over the long, hot summer.I liked Carol and enjoyed the friendship that formed between her and her

Those of you have been following my book review web site for several years know that my mom has dementia and is now in long-term care. Shes doing very well, all things considered. Still theres a lot of emotional upheaval that comes with caring for someone with dementia who you love, so I generally steer clear of novels right now that could make life feel even stressful than it already isso why on earth would I decide to read Hour of the Bees by Lindsay Eagar? This is a story told from a



Luminous, warm, slow and lovely in the best way. The comp titles are pretty spot on for this one, and while the themes of identity, heritage, and family are perfect for the coming-of-age MG magical realism, I love that the writing itself puts full confidence in its readership. I'm sure there are words and phrases in this book that would be new to middle graders but the magic and beauty of the story will keep readers of any age immersed and I suspect readers of many ages moved. From the first

Enjoyed this story of 12-year old Carolina (Carol) spending the summer at her grandfather Sergios ranch while she and her family pack things up before moving him to a care facility because of his advancing dementia.Theres has been a many-years long drought around the area of the ranch, and Sergio insists that if the bees return, the drought will break. Carol is frustrated by Sergios often repeated statements and questions but remembers that could be his dementia and displays a lot of patience

Simply stunning. Magical realism at its finest. Despite being middle grade fiction, I wouldn't hesitate to put this book in a high school classroom. In fact, I'd recommend it to anyone who read and loved Bone Gap.
