Beatrice "Bumble B." Flinn's usual Halloween costume is a bee, but this year she has decided to add a long cape and become Super Bee, but she is having a little trouble figuring out just what her superpowers are--until a sudden downpour gives her the chance to put her cape to good use.

Marsha Qualey is the author of many books for readers young and old. When she's not writing she likes to read, take walks by the river, ski in the winter, garden in the summer, and play with her cats all year 'round. Like Bumble B., she has very good friends who make life fun. Marsha has four grown-up children and two grandchildren. She lives with her husband in Wisconsin.
