I’m excited to announce that my latest book, Accidental Archaeologists: True Stories of Unexpected Discoveries, has been chosen as a Junior Library Guild selection!
In 1642, during the Thirty Years War, when soldiers attacked a village in Prussia the nuns from the town’s convent overturned the convent's beehives. The angry bees drove back the attackers. The grateful townsfolk renamed their village Beyenburg (Bee town).
