Wolfs mother is obsessed with saving the worlds honeybees, so its not too surprising when she announces that shes taking her Save the Bees show on the road—with the whole family. Wolf thinks its a terrible plan, and not just because hell have to wear a bee costume—in public. He likes his alternative school and hates the idea of missing weeks of classes. His teenage stepsister doesnt want to leave her boyfriend, and one of his little half sisters has stopped talking altogether, but Wolfs mom doesnt seem to notice. Shes convinced that the world is doomed unless ordinary people take extraordinary action. It isnt until the kids take some drastic action of their own that she is forced to listen when Wolf tells her that dragging the family around the province in a beat-up Ford panel van may not be the best idea she ever had.
