The Big Sting is a Silver Birch 2024 nominee. This is the story of Lizzie and Leo travelling with their parents to the remote west coast island where their grandpa lives. Leo is an indoor city kid, but Lizzie considers herself to be an adventurer and adapts quickly to grandpa's place. Leo and Lizzie don't really know much about grandpa or the place their mom grew up, but they soon develop a relationship with their grandpa as the three of them set off to figure out who stole grandma's award-winning honeybee hives. This is a story of family, friendship and finding yourself. It is a mystery. It's an enjoyable story, however I did find that it moves a little slowly.
