About this title: Lily Owens is growing up in South Carolina in the mid-1960s, raised by her cruel father but cared for by Rosaleen, her African-American nanny. When Rosaleen tries to vote and is beaten for her trouble, she and Lily head for the town of Tiburon, a place with ties to Lily's dead mother, where they live with a local beekeeper, and where Lily learns valuable truths about her mother and herself. The story is supplemented by a great deal of information about bees, which is fascinating in itself.

"This is an excellent book for all ages. I was hooked from page #1. The story of a girl that feels abondoned and sets off to find her own life by the path of her mother -- and by luck she finds the perfect new family!! She learns a lot and you learn with her. This is a heart-warming tale that everyone should read!"
"You couldn't wait to turn each page to find out what was going on next! Yet i didn't want the page to end, the chapters to end, therefore the book to end. I saw the movie before I read the book or knew anything about the book and I really wish it was the other way around because I love reading the book first, then seeing the movie. Ms. Kidd they did an execelent job of leaving most of your story as told in your book."
"I had heard that this was a great book,.... I noticed that there was a movie made about it, and I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie.... I know that the book is always better than the movie, but this time they were both fantastic!!! It is an awesome story about loving and finding your own special family even if you are not related to them. I would definately recommend the book or movie to anyone, and I will defenately read it again and again."
"It's definitely not the breathtaking kind of book, incredibly written or with stunning narrative, but I enjoyed it anyway. It's got a little bit of everything: family drama, (de)segregation, friendship, romance, religion, beekeeping.
Highly recommended for girls half my age. I'm going to watch the film as well, since Dakota Fanning's acting in it, and Lily's character was absolutely charming.
