Eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and
shopping and who just don’t listen.... Daniel is an only child … no, he’s lying … he has a sister,
Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien.
So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benjie, introduces him to the find of the century – a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong.
For example – Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly
turn up wanting what’s theirs – and then there’s the bank, too.
The Beehive by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in
Dan’s young life.
‘What’s a bumble?’ – ‘Shut up, Alice!’
