The Danger of Small Things by Caryl Lewis




Expected Publication Date: March 24, 2026


They dismissed the warnings and honeybees are extinct. 

Young girls are forced to pollinate crops by hand using brushes. 

They are forced to marry and bear children. 

They live in government facilities and are given just enough food, limited water and are under constant watch. 

Famines are a part of life. There is little to no joy. Books were burned, education become a thing of the past. There is no art and families have been torn apart. 

Jess's life before she was brought to the facility was different from the other girls. She knows how to read, she's seen art and she knows how to draw. She tells stories that give hope and hope sparks a revolution. 

It's been a while since a good dystopian novel came my way.
 The Danger of Small Things finally gave me my "fix".

The world Lewis has created will pull you in and make you wonder if you have what it takes or will you take a backseat? Lewis explores a lot of different themes and delivers strong messages.
