Goosebumps: Why I'm Afraid of Bees
by R.L. Stine
Gary Lutz is a kid who feels like he can't do anything right. He's clumsy, unpopular, and constantly picked on. When he sees an advertisement for a "Life Swap" vacation, it sounds like the perfect solution to all his problems. Gary thinks that being someone else—anyone else—would be better than being himself. But when the high-tech machine malfunctions, Gary finds himself in a terrifying predicament: he has swapped bodies with a bee! Now, he must navigate a world of giant predators and buzzing wings while a bee in his human body is ruining his reputation at home.
