Bloomability
By: Sharon Creech


Dear Dinnie,


I have a few questions for you. My first question; Were you scared when your aunts and uncle took you away from your family? I would've. My family is so close to me I would hate to have them taken away. Another question I have for you is; When you heard Lila say that she wasn't coming back, what were you thinking? Did you think that she was kidding or actually never coming back? If one of my friends said that, I would be really sad.



Thanks so much,

The book, Bloomability by Sharon Creech, is about a girl who gets "kidnapped" by her Aunt and Uncle. Her mom tells them to do this. See, Dinnie's father moves them from place to place and they never stay in one place for more than one year. Dinnie has gotten ALL of her stuff into one box. So you can imagine that she is sort of unsure of herself.

I would recommend this book to anyone that reads books with morals. This book has some older content so I would recommend it for ages 8-100. This is a great book that I hope you get to read someday!
