This is the best book I have read in a while; it is really a breath of fresh air. The characters are more complex, and the story line is more interesting, than any of her past books. Therefore I don't recommend it to novice readers. It is true beauty.

BLOOMABILITY was my first book from Sharon Creech and i have to say i've never read a book with a plot so original and interesting and of course, entertaining. The first few chapters were kind of confusing and uninteresting, but eventually, from the views of Dinnie, i learned to love this book. It's a MUST read!
