exciting that the pages might well have been printed with
adrenaline." —Wall Street Journal
"The book rockets off, and Oppel never eases up on the gas." —The
New York Times

conclusion is especially powerful, delivering an overwhelming
roller-coaster ride of relief and horror." —School Library Journal,
starred review
“Wilderness survival and alien invasion combine for an
exciting page-turner.” —Booklist
“Action-thriller led by three characters whose backstories continue
to unfurl with intriguing detail… will leave readers
satisfied.” —The Bulletin
"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 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
"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
