Bloomability Book

When Dinnie is 13 she is whisked away to Switzerland by her Aunt and Uncle, leaving her parents, her wayward brother and her young and very pregnant sister behind her. She feels like she has been kidnapped by strangers, but as she starts to make new friends at an exclusive, international boarding school she begins to make some sense of things. From the moment Dinnie is "kidnapped" to the moment she discovers her true self amongst the chaos and disorder that surrounds her, Bloomabilty never loses pace, yet cunningly insures that the reader is aware of every painful minute of Dinnie's life in Switzerland. Sharon Creech, author of Chasing Redbird and the Newbury Medal-winning Walk Two Moons, once again proves her dazzling talent in this alluring, cleverly observed novel by taking the tricky subject of growing up and turning it into a tale that is at once heart-breaking and heart- warming. --Susan HarrisonRead More
