Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, The Guardian, The Economist, New York Public Library, BBC, and more. From the author of Skippy Dies comes Paul Murray's The Bee Sting, an irresistibly funny, wise, and thought-provoking tour de force about family, fortune, and the struggle to be a good person when the world is falling apart. The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie’s once-lucrative car business is going under—but Dickie is spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife, Imelda, is selling off her jewelry on eBay and half-heartedly dodging the attention of fast-talking cattle farmer Big Mike, while their teenage daughter, Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge drink her way through her final exams. As for twelve-year-old PJ, he’s on the brink of running away. If you wanted to change this story, how far back would you have to go? To the infamous bee sting that ruined Imelda’s wedding day? To the car crash one year before Cass was born? All the way back to Dickie at ten years old, standing in the summer garden with his father, learning how to be a real man? The Bee Sting, Paul Murray’s exuberantly entertaining new novel, is a tour de force: a portrait of postcrash Ireland, a tragicomic family saga, and a dazzling story about the struggle to be good at the end of the world.

Summary : Parents: This is a very short educational book (approx. 25 pages) that teaches children about bees. It also shows them how to overcome anything they're scared of. It does that through the story of Lima and Ina, two sisters aged six and ten. Ten-year-old Ina is terrified of bees, and as a result, she wants to rid the world of them. When she gets stung by a bee, her fear worsens, and she runs and hides from her fear. But through gentle coaxing and education by her parents who expose her to books, articles, and a visit to the museum of science, she is able to learn more about bees. She understands how beneficial they are to humanity and this changes her whole outlook. The book not only illustrates how education can help to conquer a fear of bees but can be a template for any phobia. It encourages readers to address their anxieties by reading more, asking questions, and spending time learning about what they're afraid of. This short story is designed to be finished in one sitting, and the target audience is girls aged 8 to 12. For younger kids, parents can read the book aloud to them as a bedtime story. The book has no pictures (it is text-only) and takes around 20 to 30 minutes to finish.

Summary : In the spirit of Schott’s Miscellany, The Magic of Reality, and The Dangerous Book for Boys comes Can a Bee Sting a Bee?—a smart, illuminating, essential, and utterly delightful handbook for perplexed parents and their curious children. Author Gemma Elwin Harris has lovingly compiled weighty questions from precocious grade school children—queries that have long dumbfounded even intelligent adults—and she’s gathered together a notable crew of scientists, specialists, philosophers, and writers to answer them. Authors Mary Roach and Phillip Pullman, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, chef Gordon Ramsay, adventurist Bear Gryllis, and linguist Noam Chomsky are among the top experts responding to the Big Questions from Little People, (“Do animals have feelings?”, “Why can’t I tickle myself?”, “Who is God?”) with well-known comedians, columnists, and raconteurs offering hilarious alternative answers. Miles above your average general knowledge and trivia collections, this charming compendium is a book fans of the E.H. Gombrich classic, A Little History of the World, will adore.
