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
