Pickle Panda Finds Love in the Time of Robot Bees

Pickle the panda is one of the first of his kind: an intelligent animal capable of thinking, feeling, and communicating like the humans who raised him. Feeling like an alien in his own family, Pickle finds unexpected friends in Ramses, a gorilla that manages to pass as human, and Meghan Watson, a studious mathematician working on tiny robot bees that could replace the world's dwindling bee population. The only problem is that the bees aren't just dying - they're evolving! Like Pickle, the bees have developed an almost human intelligence, and they're convinced that the humans' excessive use of pesticides mean war.
