Description
A beautifully written, incredibly original and wickedly funny novel for readers of 10 and older – BLOOM is for everyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in, and for anyone who has ever wanted a little more colour and wildness in their lives…
Sorrel Fallowfield is growing up – in a REALLY surprising way…
Sorrel Fallowfield is so good at being good that teachers come to her when they need help remembering the school rules – and there are LOTS.
Luckily, Sorrel doesn’t have any trouble following them, until the day she discovers a faded packet of Surprising Seeds buried under a tree in her backyard.
Now she’s hearing voices, seeing things, experiencing an almost unstoppable urge to plant the Seeds in some very unusual places… and completely failing to win her school’s competition to find The Most Obedient Child of the School.
And all that’s before flowers start growing out of her head…

Beautiful, playful, and touching story about being who you are and finding your bliss. There's a distinct Roald Dahl feel to this book, but with a focus on female characters that Dahl didn't always have.
Ashley D, Bookseller
A very interesting and delightful story! Filled with plants, magic, and friendship. The story was really interesting and I loved the magical plant element in it! The characters were fun and I really enjoyed how the story played out. I think this would make a great read for kids!
*Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollinsChildren’sBooks for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

This is a wonderful, cozy, delightful book. I loved the characters. Another reviewer said it reminded her of a Roald Dahl book and I definitely agree with that assessment.
