Description

It’s summer vacation, but twelve-year-old Raksha isn’t doing much relaxing. There is one project left before her Science Squad team earns their last badge (and a trip to Hawai‘i on the line!), when she gets an opportunity to attend a highly competitive fashion camp that is too good to pass up. It isn’t long before her Science Squad work hunting for zombie bees is taking over her life. She hardly has time to prepare for her fashion camp runway show. Can Raksha pull it all together and prove that she can be both a fashion queen and a science geek? Welcome to the Science Squad, a citizen science organization for curious kids who love nature and science! Follow along as Squad members journal their efforts to make a difference in the world around them.

Runaway ZomBee is an entertaining story with a diverse main character interested in both science and fashion. This juxtaposition of her interests shows readers they can have multiple interests and do not have to adopt one simple identity- an important message. While the simplicity of the story may keep reluctant readers from turning the page, students interested in either STEM or fashion will most likely maintain interest. As a side note, based on the main character’s voice and personality, as well as the accompanying illustrations, I did not picture her older than fifth grade. This perceived immaturity may be a turn-off for older readers.
