Una adolescente incita al mundo a resistir en esta novela distópica sobre un grupo de chicas que encuentran su voz hasta en los tiempos más oscuros, perfecta para fans de El cuento de la criada y Los Juegos del Hambre.
Un mundo sin abejas es un mundo sin futuro. Tras la muerte de la última abeja, el equilibrio del universo desapareció. Ahora, la tierra está plagada de hambrunas y de guerras. No está permitido leer, ni crear arte. Los humanos tienen prohibido creer en la existencia del amor.
Como todas las niñas, Jess fue arrancada de su hogar y llevada a vivir en residencias del gobierno. Allà son obligadas a polinizar los cultivos a mano, con pinceles. Pero, a diferencia de las demás, Jess sabe leer y pintar... y es consciente de que los pinceles no se crearon para la polinización.
Jess posee un fuerte carácter rebelde que ni el castigo más severo puede apagar. Sabe que hay algo que no está bien en este sistema basado en el trabajo de chicas jóvenes, un sistema que las fuerza a casarse y a tener hijos en cuanto les sea posible. Con un pincel en la mano, puede Jess instigar una revolución?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A teen uses her art to protest injustice and galvanize others to resist in this suspenseful...lyrical (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) near-future dystopian novel about girls finding their voices in the darkest of times, perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale and Girls with Sharp Sticks.
The whole world rested on a single bee's wings...until that last honeybee died, and the balance of the universe tipped. Now, famine and war rage across the land. People are no longer allowed to read or create art. They are forbidden to believe in the existence of love.
Like every other girl, Jess has been taken from her home to live in a government dormitory, where they are forced to pollinate crops by hand with brushes. But unlike the others, Jess knows how to read and paint--and she knows that brushes aren't meant for pollinating.
Jess is her mother's daughter, with a strong streak of rebellion that even the harshest punishment can't stamp out. She knows there is something horribly wrong with this system built on the hard labor of young girls, a system that forces them to marry and have children as soon as they are able. With smuggled paints and brush in hand, can Jess inspire a revolution?
