Description
This illustrated chapter book series by New York Times best-selling author Wendy Mass is perfect for kids who are inspired by Greta Thunberg and love Beverly Cleary's Beezus and Ramona and other classics like Ivy & Bean and Clementine.
A buzzing, blooming adventure that shows even the smallest hands can make a difference.
Third grader Jolene Greenfield—better known as Green Jolene always has a big idea. This summer, she’s determined to help her beekeeping neighbor's struggling bees by creating the ultimate pollinator garden.
Armed with a shovel and her Webster, Jolene digs into a summer packed with compost piles, buzzing bees, runaway worms, and more than a few surprises. When hungry deer, complaining neighbors and day-old cold spaghetti make her plans go sideways, will Jolene’s big green dreams fall apart . . . or grow into something even more amazing?
