Reviews

[Octavia Cade · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read and reviewed the two books collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. They're books 2-3 of a 4 book series, and while I've given a (very cursory) look I can't find the others collected with them anywhere, which seems an unusual choice on the publisher's part. Although they are essentially standalone books, so maybe it doesn't matter that much. I hope a box set or something does exist, though, because these are so entertaining that I'd like the lot for myself! That sentiment is entirely down to Blossom, a feral little girl who combines psychic power with brutal honesty, essential good nature, and a very funny voice. Love her.

Rating is, as always, an average: both Ghosts I Have Been and The Dreadful Future of Blossom Culp got four stars from me, so this does too.

I absolutely loved these books. Charming and funny all the way through.

This is a memory thing - I'd forgotten the title, but I think I read this back in grade 3 or 4, and it freaked me out, but I loved it at the same time!

I've loved this book since I was a tween. It's a perfect creepy read for kids who like creepy books. I've re-read it every few years, and I still love it as a middle aged woman. I'm now trying to get my tween daughter to read it (or anything else lol).
