Narrative Concering Books Beholding Bee

Bee is an orphan who lives with a carnival and sleeps in the back of a tractor trailer. Every day she endures taunts for the birthmark on her face—though her beloved Pauline, the only person who has ever cared for her, tells her it is a precious diamond. When Pauline is sent to work for another carnival, Bee is lost.

Then a scruffy dog shows up, as unwanted as she, and Bee realizes that she must find a home for them both. She runs off to a house with gingerbread trim that reminds her of frosting. There two mysterious women, Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Potter, take her in. They clothe her, though their clothes are strangely out of date. They feed her, though there is nothing in their house to eat. They help her go to school, though they won't enter the building themselves. And, strangely, only Bee seems able to see them.

Whoever these women are, they matter. They matter to Bee. And they are helping Bee realize that she, too, matters to the world--if only she will let herself be a part of it.

This tender novel beautifully captures the pain of isolation, the healing power of community, and the strength of the human spirit.

Critique Based On Books Beholding Bee

What a sweet gem of a book this was. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year.

I liked this well enough, or rather, I liked Bee. I loved the settings, the time period, and many of the characters. The problem I'm having here is that there is WAY too much going on and nothing gets explored. We have two kids (basically) raising themselves in a carnival during the second world war. In addition, Bee has a large birthmark on her cheek. There is enough there to explore the story and watch Bee grow. But no, we need to add on a pig trainer with a past, two ghost women in a house



Oh god, this book! This girl. Bee was dear to my heart from the very first pages. Her voice is so vulnerable, so piercing and true, that I couldn't stop reading for wanting to find out how things would turn out for her (and also for her little dog and piglet, who I really, really enjoyed reading about!).Aside from Bee being so compelling, the other characters were also well fleshed-out. Ruth Ellen and her mom, Bobby the pig racing man, sassy Pauline, and Francine the mean girl all are so

Review of the Day: Has some smart moments and certainly took the narrative in directions I didn't expect, so that ultimately I wasn't the world's biggest fan but I'd be interested in seeing more from this author in the future.

Bee's had a hard life, and when her best friend moves on to join another circus without her, she finds solace in a stray dog and the two become inseparable. This wonderful novel is definitely worth reading and a really original story.

So, this one...really surprised me. I wasn't enjoying it much at all at first. I found Bee's way of constantly referring to her birthmark as "my diamond" off-putting, and there's a weird lack of contractions here (I think I noticed maybe two in the entire book), that made everyone's speech feel slightly stilted. And the kids that Bee interacts with while working sometimes seemed a little too cruel. Weirdly enough though, for all my hating of books that take place at carnivals or circuses, that's
