Summary: Creech's trademark Eccentricity still streaks through
Review: Sharon Creech is back with her entirely eccentric style of writing, in this book, "Bloomability", where, as in her others, it is so different, and stands to make you think. I read Creech's "Walk Two Moons" when I was about eight or nine and completely fell in love with it, but now, reading at a much higher reading level (I read this book to see how Creech was doing), I wish that Ms. Creech could write novels of a higher level of reading (gramatically etc, and sometimes even circumstancially). "Bloomability" gave you a full perspective of Dinnie (Domenica Santolina Doone) and illustrated the characters brilliantly as she usually does. However, despite the quality of the actual content of this book, it could have been written in not such a simple manner, though that may be the reason Sharon Creech's style is so well-liked. "Bloomability" is a novel I recommend to those who like Sharon Creech (though I find it of a lower quality than Walk Two Moons and Chasing Redbird), with her way of relating everything to Bybanks, Kentucky, or her characters to each other. I do like the way that you feel similar to Dinnie in her discoveries of herself in a foreign country (which I can relate to), and her realizations of her feelings. The Creech 'complicated plot' is there, and somehow, this book seems a lot more similar to "Absolutely Normal Chaos" than to the two above, but then, they all relate. "Bloomability" is fresh and novel however, and, with the variety of nationalities and frequent 'struggles', and Dinnie's queer circumstances, it is REAL. Many authors fail to create a realistic sense in their writing, and so I give Sharon Creech credit for that. And no matter how straightforward this book was for me and despite the short length of time I read it in (and I still am in the age reading level span), I still loved the taste of exuberance and emancipation Sharon Creech spices her books with. For the deeper meanings of all her novels are never 'simple', and can be the reading level of any intellectual forty year-old any day, and the kinds of things which provoke thoughts from anybody, any age.

Summary: it's ok but not her best
Review: Sharon Creech is one of the best authors I've known. Her style alters in every book. I first read Walk Two Moons which I loved and wanted to read over and over. It was my favorite book. Then I told a friend how much I loved Creech's books, and she then told me about Absolutly Normal Chaos which I read. Now Absolutly Normal Chaos is my favorite! Now I am in the middle of Bloomability and I can't say it is one of her best peices. It was a little boring in the beginning but now I am in to it,its ok!

Summary: Fantastico!
Review: *With every turn of the page, the reader is surprised and dazzled by the realistic and magical characters. The plot is such that makes you want to keep reading all the way through. Sharon Creech always leaves you wanting more, for you are able to realate to the way the characters act or respond to the situations Creech has put them in.*

Summary: Such The Best!
Review: This is possibly Sharon Creech's Best. It continues the story of characters based in Bybanks, and has those little quirky connections to things that are often found in her books. The characters all act like real people, and are funny as well as having some romantic qualities. Once again, the ending leaves you not COMPLETELY satisfied, and you can't wait for the next book!

Summary: Very interesting and very hard to put done.
Review: Domenica Santolina Doone is 13 and lives in the "states." She moves along with her family place to place. One day her aunt and uncle "kidnap" her. She is taken to Lugano, Switzerland where once again she is the stranger. She really doesn't like it at first until some people change her feelings about this place and make her feel free. She does lots of fun and exciting things. In the end when it is time to go home she can't decided if she wants to come back next year or stay in the states with her family.

Review: Sharon Creech writes the awesomest books. I have read all of them, and with the exception of Pleasing the Ghost, they are the best books in the entire world. I sobbed during Walk two moons.

Summary: Awesome Book a must read
Review: I thought that this book was really great! It's about a girl learning her independence in a foreign country away from her family and gradually getting out of her bubble. If you like Sharon Creech and a really good book you should read Bloomability.
