The Big Sting

A visit to Grandpa's farm on Heron Island leads to unexpected adventures when Grandma’s beehives go missing, prompting Grandpa to investigate the theft. Eleven-year-old Leo, an “armchair adventurer” reluctant to take risks, finds himself caught up in a humorous and light-hearted quest alongside his spirited sister Lizzie and a mischievous kitten. The story explores themes of family, grief, and coming-of-age, all wrapped in a charming, middle-grade narrative.
