Bastienne Scull is nearly twelve years old and lives a simple life as an apprentice to the Witnesser of Miracles in a small village mostly populated by women and girls. Basti knows that miracle-hunting is a lot like mystery-solving, and her little world is full of wonder and intrigue and unexpected adventure. A supremely enjoyable middle grade novel from the multi award-winning, bestselling author of How to Bee, The Dog Runner and The Raven''s Song.

In a climate changed world, this adventure with sinkholes, crocodiles, sharks, pirates, floating cities, vertical farms and a mystery to solve poses the question of how we will all live 'afterwards'. Will kindness and a sense of community win over selfish greed to preserve our planet - and humanity?

Set in a future Australia, a time when there are no bees and children are employed to scramble through the fruit trees with feather wands. Peony wants to be a bee, a hand pollinator: she's a year too young and when you're only 9, it's hard to get everyone around you to go along with your plan. A compelling novel for middle grade readers.
