It becomes even worse when she's asked to compete in the local honey pageant. This means Flor has to spend the summer practicing her talent (recorder) and volunteering (helping a recluse bee-keeper) with \u003ci\u003eCandice\u003c\/i\u003e, her former friend who's still bitter about losing the pageant crown to Flor when they were in second grade. And she can't say no. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen there's the possibility that Flor and her family are leaving to move in with her mom's family in New Jersey.

She has a lot of work to do.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristi Wientge is originally from Ohio where she grew up writing stories about animals and, her favorite, a jet-setting mouse.
