Description
Bee prefers to be called just Bee. She's not being rude, it's just that her name is too long and complicated.
Life with her parents can be challenging, but add Crystal Kelly into the mix and things get even more difficult. However, when Crystal challenges Bee to take part in a sponsored swim, she can't back down, even though she's terrified of water and can't swim.
A chance encounter with Moon-Star, a new boy on horseback, changes everything. Together, they meet Old Alice, a kind stranger who lives in a beautiful painted wagon. As Bee enters this new world, her life is transformed by the power of friendship and a promise to help each other.
