"In a future where technology is king, the environment has collapsed, and most people subsist in desperate attempts to farm the ruined Earth, 12-year-old Yoly is determined to get out of her desolate valley and into the elite city of Silo. But when she learns that the desolation, poverty and subjugation are manufactured by the ruling class, Yoly takes matters into her own hands. Discovering that her family has managed to keep one last hive of the long-extinct honeybee alive, Yoly takes on the task of saving the valley – and maybe the world. (For ages 8 to 12)"
