What if a young girl learned to navigate the turbulent waters of middle-school bullying by mastering the calm waters of a lake with her grandfather's help?
For Sophie Moon, middle school is a storm she can't seem to outrun. To the boys in her class, she's just a target for cruel nicknames. But to her Grandpa, she is a captain in training.
Every season brings Sophie back to the log cabin, the green meadows and the honeybees. Here, amidst the scent of roast coffee and honey, Grandpa teaches her the arts of fishing, bravery and patience. But when a fight at school leaves Sophie grounded, and a mock-battle in the barn with her new friend Tom goes wildly wrong, Sophie has to face the hardest lesson of all.
Armed with her father's old cap and a book full of historical pirates, Sophie must figure out how to stop running from the storm and become the unshakable captain of her own soul.
Never stops trying, learning, and most of all following her dreams.
Szilvia Jennings lives with her husband in rural Ohio. She enjoys spending time outdoors, taking care of her bees and dreaming up new stories on sleepless nights.
A young girl over comes her fears with the help of her grandfather and his honeybees.
