About This Book
What if you could see the future—but only the bad parts? Hazy Bloom starts having visions of danger looming just a day ahead, and suddenly her world feels more confusing than ever. Can she learn to control this strange power before it spirals out of control?
Themes
Quick Assessment
Hazel Bloom, a third-grader, begins seeing visions of trouble that will happen within a day, but her new power often makes things messier instead of better. Expect silly school slapstick, like a cafeteria food fight, and a headstrong heroine who learns that seeing something is not the same as understanding it. Content is light and playful, with only brief mild tension around the visions and no serious danger.
