Bookroo's summary

In 1942, orphaned Bee escapes the harsh life of a carnival with her dog, Peabody, and piglet, Cordelia. She discovers a magical house and two enigmatic women who only she can see. As Bee navigates this new world, she must confront her fears and find where she truly belongs. Will Bee embrace the chance to matter in a world that often overlooks her? Her journey is one of courage, friendship, and the search for a place to call home.
