Description: " A phenomenal kickoff to an enthralling trilogy . The conclusion is especially powerful, delivering an overwhelming roller-coaster ride of relief and horror." -- School Library Journal, starred review "In this fast-paced thriller , Oppel spins a richly drawn, incredibly fascinating world. Beginning with the brilliantly unique premise of a botanical alien invasion, the plot unravels satisfyingly, building readers' curiosity by creating 10 new questions for every answer given. A thrilling alien-invasion novel based on a chilling ly nefarious premise." -- Kirkus Reviews "BLOOM is a lightning-paced adventure that grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. This book is ridiculously fun ... and by 'fun' I mean terrifying! " --Jonathan Auxier, author of The Night Gardener " Absolutely riveting. Superb storytelling, great characters and an environmental crisis -- readers will hardly be able to wait for the second book in the trilogy."-- The Globe and Mail " Steadily adds new horrors, potently escalating the story's pace, stakes, and anxiety as the plants crowd out food crops, explosively release allergy-causing pollen, and begin exhibiting carnivorous tendencies." -- Publishers Weekly "Wilderness survival and alien invasion combine for an exciting page-turner ." -- Booklist
