Witch Queen Bee introduces Lieve, and Jimmy, along with their families and friends Farid and Aisha.
When kind-hearted Jimmy Rockwood defends the nature-loving Lieve from school bullies, he is drawn into the enchanting world of her magical family. As their friendship blossoms amidst rescued hedgehogs and ancient secrets, Jimmy discovers that Lieve’s family guards more than just honeybees. They hold the key to his own hidden past. Together, they must unite their two worlds to protect the delicate balance between nature and humanity.
Potential readers: The primary demographic of this story is middle-grade readers aged ten upwards; however, this is a book most adults would thoroughly enjoy reading and sharing.
The narrative’s focus on school, life, friendship, and burgeoning independence will resonate strongly with this age group. The dual protagonists, Jimmy and Lieve, provide appeal across genders, with the themes of nurturing, emotional intelligence and family connections. Family humour, the assumptions of ten-year-olds and unexpected plot twists.
The story would attract children from various cultural and educational backgrounds, particularly those with an interest in animals, nature, and fantasy. It’s likely to be purchased by parents and adult readers who value stories with positive messages about environmentalism, kindness, humour, secrets and the importance of family.

The conservation of bees is a huge talking point for their school. An observant teacher, Miss Su’Am, noticed every child was gripped by Lieve and Jimmy’s ‘show and tell’ performance. This made the whole schools focus clear. On her suggestion, the primary school aims to have its own apiary. All this in the humour and emotions of family dynamics.
