Facing a world dually altered by climate change and those who profit from it, Yolanda Ciceron will have to fight to save the last known beehive from extinction in this stirring new adventure by award-winning author Pablo Cartaya…
In a future shaken by climate disasters, Yolanda knows that nature is something to be feared. While life in the Valley is brutal and harsh, Yoly dreams of leaving her farm to live in Silo – the most advanced town for miles around. But first, Yoly will need to prove she belongs in a place where only the smartest and most useful are welcomed. As she cracks long-guarded secrets, Yoly is put in grave peril and the only chance of surviving may lie in the rediscovery of a long-extinct species – the honeybee. Can the last surviving beehive be the key to pulling the Valley out from under Silo’s thumb, or will they destroy what remains of Yoly’s future?
