A Lesson in Letters, on Honey, Dating and Other Sticky Subjects The seventh graders at Geyser Creek Middle School are beeyond stressed. They're preparing for a spelling bee and a horrible standardized test called the BEE (Basic Education Evaluation). Plus, this year the hunt for their honeys has become all-important. It's a good thing they have Honey, a bee that spells (yes, really!), as their class pet--and one fabulous teacher named Florence Waters. Sweet! AUTHOR Kate Klise is an author of many genres.
