Description

In a near-future world where a mysterious algae bloom has begun to choke the world's waterways, a group of determined teenagers discovers that the phenomenon is far more sinister than anyone realized. As the bloom spreads with alarming speed, consuming entire ecosystems and threatening humanity's survival, these young protagonists must uncover the truth behind the ecological catastrophe while racing against time to find a solution. Kenneth Oppel weaves together themes of environmental crisis, scientific discovery, and human resilience in this gripping ecological thriller that challenges readers to confront the consequences of humanity's relationship with nature. With high stakes, compelling characters, and a richly imagined world on the brink of collapse, Bloom launches an unforgettable trilogy that explores what it takes to fight for a dying planet.

that shit was SO fucking fun. had to be the most exciting and original story i’ve read in soooooo long.<br/><br/>lots of reviews compliment the novel “despite it being middle grade level,” but like… why should a book for a younger audience have anything marked against it as a hurdle? if you praise a child for reading collegiate level books, why can’t you praise an adult for reading ANY books that are this fucking fun??? this book isn’t good DESPITE being middle grade, this book is good on its own merit and enjoyment. just read a book babes. stop letting people make you feel inadequate for not reading nietzsche in your free time ✨
