I Loved this book. It was so good. I think is just because I really like Lauren Myracle's books and her style of writing, that's probably why I like her books. My favorite character in this book is Camilla also known as Milla. She did something terrible to her crush, Max. She killed his hamster!!! You have to read the book to find out the rest. Violet has deal with something big. Her mother is in a mental hospital.Also, this boy in her class Cyril keeps staring at her and writing in his mysterio

Violet in Bloom is about another adventure that the FFF'S (Flow Friends Forever) endure. Violet, Katie-rose, Camila (Milla), and Yasmin are back for another heart breaking, fun, and outrageous time in 5th grade. Yasmin comes up with a great idea that she posts on her blog (LuvYaBunches.com) and all the girls like but Katy-rose takes it a little too far when Natalia comes into the picture. Camila thinks she is doing things right with her crush Max, but something goes wrong and it devastates h

So . . . I just got off the phone with Lauren Myracle after she did a Book Club chat for the organization I work with, so I might be just a teensy bit biased by her awesomeness. But, I probably would have given this book four stars (or at least a very high three) anyway.
I always think of Lauren as a Modern Day Judy Blume for the way she captures authentic adolescent girls' concerns and voice, although I think she's a touch more fun than Judy Blume (Judy Blume, I still love you!). This More...

Violet in Bloom follows the 5th grade stories of the flower friends; Milla, Katie-Rose, Yasaman, and Violet. All dealing with problems in their lives. It's a good thing their flower pals will be there forever. Their site that Yasaman created is just blooming but will the girls survive what happens when the soil of their flower box is shaken? All their problems somehow, indirectly relate to a guy. It could be their dad, a crush, or an annoying pair of classmates who can't seem to do the chicken d

Violet In Bloom by Lauren Myracle was a realistic fiction book about four best friends, Milla, Violet, Katie-Rose, and Yasaman, and about their ups and downs during the fifth grade. Milla has a crush on Max, Katie-Rose’s neighbor, and accidentally kills his hamster. Violet is trying to cope with the fact that her mom is in a mental home, and Katie-Rose and Yasaman are fighting because of a classmate, Natalia. Meanwhile, the girls are launching a “Snack Attack” mission to help their school get he

As with the prequel to this book, the author accurately portrays typical tween drama with heart, including friendship troubles, insecurities, fears, crushes, teamwork, and the importance of being yourself. Girls will relate to these issues and speed through this fun and easy read. Diversity is celebrated, as each of the four girls are of a different race (African-American, Asian, Caucasian, and Middle-Eastern), and each has her own ...(click for the full review http://www.storysnoops.com/detail.php?id...

It's easy to look at this series and say the diversity is forced, or too easy, but at the same time, it's just nice to see such diversity in a middle grade book. And forced or not, it's worth it, because Myracle has created four distinct and wonderful characters, each with their own credits and their own faults, and the best thing I can say is that I can see a little bit of myself in each one of them and their struggles.

This book was really good to me, because it was about 4 girls name VIOLET,KATIE-ROSE,CAMILLA,YASAMAN. The reason why i like this book because it is a type of book that is good for you and to me it was exellent. and each chapter it has their name and through the whole chapter it's talking about them and it's interesting that's why i like it.

What I loved about this book is that it captures the voice of a fifth grader so accurately. I could connect to a lot of the characters and thought "Hey! I was totally like that in fifth grade!" i I really enjoyed reading this book. Please wrote another, Lauren Myracle!!!!

It was so fun to jump back into fifth grade with Milla, Violet, Katie-Rose and Yasaman! I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Luv Ya Bunches. There was lots of drama in this book but Myracle deals with it all in a way that's endearing and age-appropriate. I hope the next book has lots more FFF (Flower Friends Forever!) hijinks and lessons about friendship.

OH, how I <3 this series!!!! 4 girls who all have both good and bad things going on in their 5th grade lives. Acknowledges how hard the age is, while still pointing to the parts where there is joy. I wish I could have read this when I was 10! Tween-ness handled with sensitivity, respect, and HUMOR. A supportive, safe series for girls struggling with being THAT age.

Even better than the first Flower Power book. Great for girls in grades 4-6. Friendships are tested but the flower bunch always stays together!

Violet in bloom is the continued book after Luv Ya Bunches, but I think Luv Ya Bunches is the best! Let's hope Lauren Myracle makes another sequal!
