What do you get when you mix the fantasy of Dory Fantasmagory, the humor of Clementine, and the family dynamics of Amber Brown? LIZZIE BEE—the first book in a new neurodiverse chapter book series about a little girl with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.
Eight-year-old Lizzie Bee knows that whenever the world gets too overwhelming, she can escape her anxieties by making up adventure stories. But when Lizzie’s mother tells her she’s getting married to her boyfriend, Cornwall, Lizzie’s anxious brain goes into hyperdrive. Are they getting married next week? Will Cornwall become her new dad? What will happen to her old dad? Instead of asking questions, Lizzie Bee makes up her own answers—each one more wild than the next.
With the help of her best friend, Lizzie hatches a grand plan to stop the wedding and send Cornwall far away…like to outer space. But when she gets in way over her head, her nemesis becomes an unlikely ally, and she realizes that maybe letting Cornwall into her family isn’t such a terrible idea after all.
