'Just call me Bee. Please, please call me that. If you call me
Beatrix Daffodil Tulip Chrysanthemum Rose Edwards I shan't answer
you. I am not being rude or unfriendly, or insolent as Mrs Dixon my
teacher calls me. I just don't like my name. Well, would you?' Bee
stumbles through life in her stripy socks with her head in the
clouds, doing her very best to keep out of the way of her bickering
parents and avoid bendy tap dancing Crystal Kelly - who makes her
life a misery. But when Crystal double-dares her to volunteer for a
sponsored swim in honour of her great grandmother Beatrix's memory,
Bee can't back down. Even though she is terrified of water and
cannot swim! Then new boy Moon-Star gallops to Bee's rescue on his
horse and takes her to meet Old Alice, who lives in a beautiful
painted wagon. As Bee enters this new world, her life is changed
for ever. Finally she has an ally. Down by the promise tree the new
friends make a pact - Moon Star will teach Bee to swim if Bee will
teach him to read. They spit on their hands and shake on their vow
and a beautiful friendship begins. 'Fans of Jacqueline Wilson and
Elen Caldecott will like this real-world drama ... Warm and dreamy
with just the right amount of quirk for young readers to identify
with if they feel like outsiders.' Booktrust
