The Nectar Collector

By Patti Sherlock

Pollination. Purpose. Power.

Alenya is no ordinary honeybee. She's a daring forager with a nose for the sweetest nectar-and a heart that refuses to quit. When wildfire smoke forces her hive into the mountains, Alenya must face down predators, unravel hive secrets, and confront a world turned upside down. With her loyal friend Shanahee by her side, she risks everything to protect her colony-and discovers just how powerful one small bee can be.

The Nectar Collector is a heartfelt, high-stakes adventure about resilience, friendship, and finding your place in a world buzzing with challenges.

For readers ages 8-12 who love animal stories, environmental themes, and protagonists who don't back down.
