Story
The Lockwood brothers are supposed to be able to survive anything. Their dad, a hardcore believer in self-reliance, has stockpiled enough food and water at their isolated Nevada home to last for months. But when they are robbed of all their supplies during a massive blackout while their dad is out of town, John and Stew must walk 96 miles in the stark desert sun to get help. Along the way, they’re forced to question their dad’s insistence on self-reliance and ask just what it is that we owe to our neighbors, our kin, and to ourselves.

Ever since Ellie wore a whale swimsuit and made a big splash at her fifth-birthday party, she's been bullied about her weight. To cope, she tries to live by the Fat Girl Rules - like "no making waves", "avoid eating in public", and "don't move so fast that your body jiggles". And she's found her safe space - her swimming pool - where she feels weightless in a fat-obsessed world. In the water, she can stretch herself out like a starfish and take up all the room she wants. It's also where she can get away from her mom, who thinks criticizing Ellie's weight will motivate her to diet.

Julian Twerski isn't a bully. He's just made a big mistake. So when he returns to school after a weeklong suspension, his English teacher offers him a deal: If he keeps a journal and writes about the terrible incident that got him and his friends suspended, he can get out of writing a report on Shakespeare. Julian jumps at the chance. And so begins his account of life in sixth grade - blowing up homemade fireworks, writing a love letter for his best friend (with disastrous results), and worrying whether he's still the fastest kid in school.

Publisher's summary
"The perfect book right now for young readers searching for hope, strength, inspiration - and just a little horticultural havoc." (New York Times)
The first book in a can't-put-it-down, can't-listen-to-it-fast-enough action-thriller trilogy that's part Hatchet, part Alien!
The invasion begins - but not as you'd expect. It begins with rain. Rain that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout - overnight, everywhere. These new plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, and burrow below streets. They bloom - and release toxic pollens. They bloom - and form Venus flytrap-like pods that swallow animals and people. They bloom - everywhere, unstoppable.
Or are they? Three kids on a remote island seem immune to the toxic plants. Anaya, Petra, Seth. They each have strange allergies - and yet not to these plants. What's their secret? Can they somehow be the key to beating back this invasion? They'd better figure it out fast, because it's starting to rain again....
Critic reviews
"A phenomenal kickoff to an enthralling trilogy. The conclusion is especially powerful, delivering an overwhelming roller-coaster ride of relief and horror." (School Library Journal starred review)
"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)

Story
Eleven-year-old Nedda Papas is obsessed with becoming an astronaut. In 1986 in Easter, a small Florida Space Coast town, her dreams seem almost within reach - if she can just grow up fast enough. Theo, the scientist father she idolizes, is consumed by his own obsessions. Laid off from his job at NASA and still reeling from the loss of Nedda's newborn brother several years before, Theo turns to the dangerous dream of extending his living daughter's childhood just a little longer. The result is an invention that alters the fabric of time.

What if the corona virus was an alien plant?
In this story we start with a pretty heavy dose of what makes teens feel like outcasts: zits, allergies, broken confidences and parentlessness. At the same time, the young characters seem usually competent; for example, in addition to the extensive science chatter, female expertise with chainsaws is notable. Action starts quickly and the death count is unusually high for young readers. Oppel spares us the eye-roll over incompetent adults, making them instead a great support base for the kids to literally save the world (no mere village-as-world story). You can see elements of world-threat of The SYLO Chronicles by D. J. MacHale and can anticipate that there will be similarities to James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. Thank you K. Oppel for another great story not centered in the UK and US, although Bellingham is mentioned.

Ok but more for teenagers.
Booked started out good and I'm always one to finish a book even if it's bad. This book is more for teenagers. I won't be ordering the rest of the series.
