Recenzii

Nancy Viau uses skillful and strategic childlike language to tell this heartfelt story from the perspective of 10-year-old Samantha, thus making the story relatable for younger audiences. Viau explores many rather difficult topics through the eyes of a child, giving them an innocent appearance. For example, she discusses the death of Sam’s father in dialect that is sweet, longing, and almost naive. This creates the structure for the rest of the book, and that wholesome feeling persists in all of its 184 pages. Viau also touches on hardships within friendships, as even from a young age, it is common to lose friends and have to learn about forgiveness. This is done beautifully through the subplot about Sam and Kelli’s friendship. The girls have been best friends throughout their entire lives, but when Kelli begins taking ballet classes with Ling, Sam senses a distance from her friend and becomes angry with her. In the end, however, the girls reach a resolution and they reestablish their friendship, right along with saving the bees. Viau also touches on the pressure of trying to fit in as a fourth grader. Sam decides to create a club called the Bug Club. As she waits for her fellow classmates to show up to the first meeting, she must grapple with the realization that besides her friends Kat and Richard, no one else is coming. This speaks to the struggle that comes with attempting to make friends. Overall, Nancy Viau has created a masterfully relatable and immensely fun story that can be enjoyed by young readers with passion and a little bit of spunk of their own. -- Emma Merwin, Skipping Stones Magazine
