Additional Notes
| From The Publisher* | It was just rain. But after the downpour, odd black plants begin to shoot up. Suddenly- They. Are. Everywhere. They take over fields and twine around houses. They bloom and throw off toxic pollen-and feed. Strangely, Anaya, Petra and Seth, three Salt Spring Island teens, seem immune. What's their connection? What's their secret? A week ago, they wouldn't have thought they had one. But they'd better figure it out fast-the invasion has already begun. |
| Review Quote* | "The perfect book right now for young readers searching for hope, strength, inspiration - and just a little horticultural havoc." |
| Review Quote* | "A phenomenal kickoff to an enthralling trilogy. . . . An edge-of-your-seat, apocalyptic alien plants versus heroic hybrid teens adventure." |
| Review Quote* | "Kenneth Oppel has written a thriller so exciting that the pages might well have been printed with adrenaline. . . . So propulsive that some readers may find themselves using one hand to cover the paragraphs they haven't read yet, to keep their devouring eyes from jumping ahead." |
| Review Quote* | "Absolutely riveting . . . Superb storytelling, great characters and an environmental crisis will completely captivate young readers." |
| Review Quote* | "A terrifying non-stop thriller." |
| Review Quote* | "Oppel steadily adds new horrors, potently escalating the story's pace, stakes, and anxiety." |
| Review Quote* | "A thrilling alien-invasion novel based on a chillingly nefarious premise." |
| Review Quote* | "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!" |
