by Susan Elwell (Author)

In her second book about insects in trouble, Susan Elwell examines the plight of the honey bee as seen through the eyes of Madigan -- the curious, fact-seeking girl who won't take "I don't know" for an answer. Madigan's quest to discover why the American honey bee is growing scarce takes her to bee keepers, entomologists, libraries and even ice cream stores. She won't stop until she has the answers, and neither will you. This is a tale that brings out the "Madigan" in all of us, and invites the reader to take up the challenge of saving what may be the most important insect in the world.
