Bloomability by Sharon Creech

Cover of Bloomability

I am on the 163rd page of Bloomability. I chose this book to read because I am in the literary ladies club and I really wanted to start reading the book. It's awesome so far. It's about a girl who's father doesn't really ever have a job and she moves around all the time from place to place in the U.S.A. Her brother is pretty much a criminal and her sister is pregnant at the age of 16.

Her aunt and uncle are moving to Switzerland and organize it so that 'Domenica' goes with them. Dinnie is extremely reluctant as she wants to stay with her family, but is forced to go.

She goes to the international school in Switzerland and stays with her Uncle, the headmaster. She makes many extravagant friends and it tells the story of her life.

A word I still don't really understand is bloomability. In the book there is a Japanese guy who has rather unique English. He changes words up a bit into something more original. Bloomability means possibility. This is a really good title for the book as a lot of the book is about Dinnie's 'possibilities.'
