Description

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.

Reviews

"The perfect book right now for young readers searching for hope, strength, inspiration -- and just a little horticultural havoc." -- New York Times

"A phenomenal kickoff to an enthralling trilogy. . . . An edge-of-your-seat, apocalyptic alien plants versus heroic hybrid teens adventure." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"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." -- Wall Street Journal

"Absolutely riveting . . . Superb storytelling, great characters and an environmental crisis will completely captivate young readers." -- Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"A terrifying non-stop thriller." -- Quill & Quire

"Oppel steadily adds new horrors, potently escalating the story's pace, stakes, and anxiety." -- Publishers Weekly

"A thrilling alien-invasion novel based on a chillingly 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
