The Bees, by Laline Paull
Are a fan of more dystopian novels and science fiction? Are you a die hard fan of authors like Margaret Atwood or books like The Giver or The Hunger Games series? Then you will love The Bees. Described by Emma Donoghue as a “heart-pounding novel” and “wild ride”, this book is about an ancient culture with a strong caste system, in which only the queen can breed. Protagonist Flora 717, is a member of the lowest caste, who finds herself trapped between the demands of her strict society and personal desires and dreams that challenge the ideals set by the all powerful queen.
