They are the most beautiful and popular four, they call themselves, The Hive. If you are not one of them or at least approved by them, you are nothing. When you are nothing, your school days are filled with abuse and humiliation. Brooke Stevens leads a foursome of middle grade girls in a world of bullying and torture, making life miserable for the weaker students. However, when Brooke goes too far, her secret is revealed to all, and her school days are changed forever. The Hive draws readers into the dark world of middle grade life, which can be a white knuckle, hold-on-to-the-edge-of-your-seat type of thrill ride for some, but a gruesome collision course for their bruised and battered victims, who desperately try to survive until the 3:00pm dismissal bell rings, and they can race home. Yet the track changes everyday at 3:00pm for Brooke... The Hive shoves the reader behind the scenes to explore the true motivation of the bully, and forces a taste of the bitter reality that is Brooke's home life. What obliterates her character at home, is reflected in the malevolent and emotionally wicked pain she inflicts on her victims at school. This book will help a bully or a follower recognize herself, and it will help a victim find strength and hope. A brilliant debut, it introduces remarkable new writer, Kelley Powell Barcellona to contemporary realistic fiction.
