Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power (Hazy Bloom #1) [9781250143556]

Overview

The first in a funny new chapter-book series about a third grader with mysterious visions, Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power is a winning tale from children's television writer Jennifer Hamburg, with illustrations by Jenn Harney.

She can see the future . . . or at least, a small part of it.

One perfectly ordinary afternoon, a vision flashes through third-grader Hazel “Hazy” Bloom’s mind—of flying peas. The next day in the school cafeteria, a food fight erupts that involves the very same airborne veggie. After one or two more seemingly silly visions come true in unexpected ways, Hazy realizes she has a strange new power: twenty-four hours before trouble occurs, she receives a visual clue about what's going to happen.

But seeing is not always understanding, and headstrong Hazy quickly discovers that “tomorrow power” sometimes only gives her the ability to make a hilarious mess of things instead of saving the day.

Praise for Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power:

“This series starter strikes a nice balance between drama and levity . . . Hazy may well be a match for Beverly Cleary’s spunky Ramona Quimby.” —Booklist

“Hazy's irrepressible, hilarious narration (punctuated with exclamation points and spelling vocabulary words she likes and dislikes) proves fast-paced and amusing . . . Likely to engage the primary school set with its madcap humor and unpredictable heroine.” —Kirkus Review

“This quickly paced tale features a well-developed main character and lots of funny scenes . . . Hazy’s voice is unique, and her quirky personality is showcased on every page . . . Harney’s pictures are charming and add to the humor of the story.” —School Library Journal
