Hazy Bloom #1
Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power
One perfectly ordinary afternoon, a vision flashes through third-grader Hazel “Hazy” Bloom’s mind―of flying peas. The next day in the school cafeteria, a food fight erupts that involves the very same airborne veggie. After one or two more seemingly silly visions come true in unexpected ways, Hazy realizes she has a strange new power to foresee a visual clue about trouble that’s on its way within twenty-four hours. But seeing is not always understanding, and headstrong Hazy quickly discovers that “tomorrow power” sometimes only gives her the ability to make a hilarious mess of things instead of saving the day.

Very nice and funny story

Fun premise: third-grader starts getting visions of something that will happen TOMORROW. Misinterpretations often lead to disasters, though, haha. Overall, I enjoyed this BUT I was annoyed by the expression (the main character's apparent catch-phrase) "for real live." Is this a popular saying amongst kids or is this something the author made up for this character? I don't know why it tripped me up so much.

Hazel is imaginative and distractible, often getting lost in her head. When she starts having vague images appear before her as visions, she gradually realizes they relate to events that will occur the following day. She gets glimpses of the future. Unfortunately, her attempts to put this new "superpower" to good use tend to create more problems than they solve, often because she misinterprets what the visions mean. They seem more trouble than they're worth.
Hazy's story blends her humorous narration and silly circumstances with the drama of her real worries and the trouble she creates for herself. It makes for an amusing and far from trivial book that early readers should find enjoyably approachable.

3rd grader Hazel "Hazy" Bloom lives a fairly normal life with her parents, baby brother, 5th-grade brother, and dog. Her best friend, Elizabeth, loves performing, and Hazy has plans to go to Mars. When Hazy has a crystal clear vision of flying peas one night followed by a food fight that started with, you guessed it, flying peas, she starts getting into situations that she has a hard time explaining. Misinterpretations of what her visions - "tomorrow power" - are trying to tell her result in silly escapades involving ostriches, a cupcake tower, broken eggs, and a rift between Hazy and Elizabeth. Reminds me of Katie Kazoo. Best for ages 7-9.

I'm surprised this book isn't getting stronger reviews. I laughed out loud several times (hard to do!) and absolutely loved the voice. Clever story. Hazy comes across as more mature than Junie B. Jones and Clementine, whose stupid silliness kind of turned me off. I found Hazy to be likable and relatable with her "real live" and "Mapefrl" nickname shenanigans. Hamburg has created a third-grader with a "superpower" ability of being able to see a day into the future, though she struggles to interpret what the visions mean and often is wrong. What kid wouldn't want to read a story like that? I immediately went to check and see if Jennifer Hamburg had any more Hazy stories ready. Delightful.

Third grader Hazel Bloom has started to have visions. Out of nowhere, she feels all tingly and sees an image appear before her eyes. As she and her best friend Elizabeth try to figure out what they mean, they realize that each thing Hazy sees appears the next day, and that it is some kind of prophetic warning. Sometimes they misinterpret them, which lead to amusing consequences. Recommended for grades 1 & up.

Early chapter book for grades 2-4. Probably appeals mostly to girls. Hazy Bloom has developed a "gift" or superpower where she gets a vision of some clue about what will happen the next day but it is not very specific. Lots of funny things happen when she tries to figure out how to work with this power.

A cute early-chapter book about honesty, family, friendship and Hazy Bloom's newfound ability to "see the future". How this affects Hazy Bloom causes all sorts of silly events to happen, but it also helps her become closer to her "crazy" aunt. Grades 1-3

Solid story for younger readers, with plenty of madcap humor. A lot for kids to relate to in terms of navigating friend and family relationships. I found the main character a bit more grating than likeable but other readers may feel differently.

Fun story that kids (albeit, most likely primarily girls) will enjoy. However, the title character's catch phrase ("for real live") drove me insane. A minor quibble, I know. :-P

Great early chapter book for second and third grade readers. Hazy has a great voice. I especially loved her use of spelling words.

I think this has been EM's favorite stand-alone chapter book so far. We can't wait for the next one!

Cute strong emerging reader

Fun story! I love all the spelling words inserted into the story.

Cute transitional chapter book, good for fans of Hedi Hecklebeck--humor, psychic visions, and some friend drama . Good level for kiddos almost ready to move on to bigger chapter books.

Cute book for young girls. Quick read. Catch phrase "for real live" was annoying.

A funny book from the point of view of a young girl who discovers she has flashes of the future.

This book was a quick read and I loved the characters.

I'll be honest, I haven't actually read Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power by Jennifer Hamburg, my 7yo daughter however, devoured it. She read it every chance she got over the weekend. She absolutely loved this book. She even announced upon completion that this is her new favorite book and asked, "Can you please get me some more Hazy Bloom books." "As soon as I can baby doll, as soon as I can."

Hazy is a pretty ordinary kid, until one day when she discovers her secret power. She gets hot, and then cold, and then gets goosebumps. Then she sees... something. And that tiny flash image will happen tomorrow. And as a superpower, Hazy does what she can to stop it! Not that is always needs stopping. Or that she's the right person to stop it. Or that she even understand what the image means at all. But she means so well!
This all takes place in one week, during which her aunt is visiting, so she has to stay in her brother's room. It's also the week leading up to a school fundraising fair, and every class is responsible for a booth. For example, one class is doing an egg toss game, and one day Hazy seems an image of breaking eggs. So when a pallet of eggs is delivered to the school, and Hazy seems boys tossing the eggs outside her classroom window, she goes to try to stop them! Of course she's not supposed to go outside during class, and the boys don't break any of the eggs, so she gets in trouble. (However when her dad gets home from the grocery store and trips... well, there's the broken eggs!)
Cute shenanigans and misunderstanding ensue. Her best friend is excited that she gets to be a sidekick. Her aunt is extraordinarily helpful. And by the end of the week, Hazy might better understand how her "tomorrow power" can work for her. First in a series.

Fun book -those who like Ramona, Junie B. and Clementine will love this series as well. Definitely recommend for students in grades 2-4!

Hazy, a third grader, has "tomorrow power" which enables her to see visions of what will occur the next day. These visions only offer clues as to what is going to happen and because Hazy misinterprets them she finds herself getting into trouble. Hazy is a fun character - spunky and humorous. The silly predicaments she finds herself in are amusing. This is the first in a series and I look forward to reading more about Hazy's adventures.

A cute, quick read. Well, for me anyway. It is a children's book. I really enjoyed it, though, and think a lot of kids in younger grades would as well. Hazy Bloom discovers she has visions of the future but they are difficult to predict. Read this book to find out how she and her friend, Elizabeth, try to figure out what Hazy's visions mean.

Hazy Bloom loves her best friend, Elizabeth, but not her older brother Milo who is very annoying. Life is pretty ordinary until Hazy starts having 'visions', glimpses of the future that she doesn't understand. With the help of her BFSB (best friend since birth) Elizabeth, Hazy tries to figure out what these visions mean. When a 'vision' of flying peas turns into a food fight in the cafeteria the next day, and a 'vision' of a sparkly blue number 9 turns into saving a friend with an allergy from getting stung, Hazy and Elizabeth figure that she's got a super power. But as Hazy keeps seeing visions, she starts looking for fulfillment everywhere and begins getting herself in trouble with her teacher, her parents, and even Elizabeth. Hazy starts to wonder if having this ability is really a good thing or not. Hamburg and Harney have created a fun character with an unusual ability which makes for an amusing story that is a delight to read. This is one that I would read out loud to students who think that having a super power would be the best thing ever. I look forward to reading more about this character who distinctly reminds me of Sara Pennypacker's young Clementine.

My 2nd and 3rd grade girls will definitely enjoy this, and the ending was pretty cute. :-)
