Simon Adepetun will be at the Weaverham Library, Weaverham Northwich, on Monday 21st August at 11am. Simon Adepetun, author of 'The Bee Hive', will be giving a reading from his book and be available to answer any questions you may have. Eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents, Philip and Susan, who love work and shopping and who just don't listen. Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map, well, all kinds of things go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank too. 'The Beehive' by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a period in Dan's young life.
