THE GREAT BIG BUZZ-OFF by John I. Connors

I have seen some amazing works come from my crit class writers, many times more powerful than books that are being released by mainstream publishing. Meanwhile, entering that field becomes increasingly impossible. What’s a writer to do? Recently John I. Connors, well-known in Raleigh, as a nature educator, merged his science knowledge, his youthful experiences and sense of humor in THE GREAT BIG BUZZ-OFF. This middle-grade novel pits colorful sibling characters against each other as younger sibling Johnny-Cake stands up to his older dominating brother,Tommy Tomatoe. While Tommy triumphs in sports, Johnny knows much about bugs, a certain edge when they compete to see who can hold a pear the longest. Not just any pear but one that holds the highest point value for the stingiest bees and wasps. The contest hooks the entire neighborhood, just as this charming novel will hookthe highest point value for the stingiest bees and wasps.The contest hooks the entire neighborhood, just as this charming novel will hook readers.
