DRIFT
THE TITLE
Maybe you are wondering about the title. “Drift” is the term used to describe when bees leave one colony behind and move to another. The bees in the story have done just that, and it’s also what Nate has just done – moved to a new place.
SYNOPSIS
Fourteen-year-olds Nate and Luna join forces to rescue the 20,000 bees that swarm Nate’s home and build a hive in the walls. Can they rescue each other, too?
Nate has recently moved to a sleepy town with his mum. Separated from his dad, who’s stayed behind until he can relocate his job, Nate misses his father, friends, and previous life.
When a 20,000 strong swarm of bees invade the walls of their dilapidated beach house, Nate forms a connection to them and sets about trying to save the hive with the help of a young local beekeeper Tyler. But when the devastating varroa mite virus hits, the hive might have to be destroyed.
Meanwhile, next door, Luna’s anxiety is spiralling out of control since a “fight” video - in which she’s brutally attacked by two girls at a party - went viral. Luna has become a social outcast at school and lost her best friend Sia. She and Nate – who crucially hasn’t seen the shocking video - become friends. They hatch a plan to avoid disaster for the bees. Can they save the hive and save each other?
Told in a dynamic first-person dual narrative, Drift will resonate with younger-teen readers beginning to understand themselves and the changing world they live in. In the spirit of Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, Toffee by Sarah Crossan, and Blood Moon by Lucy Cuthew.
