![]() I'm more reminiscing than reviewing here, this has been a favourite book of mine for as long as I can remember. ![]() One thing I didn't realize as a kid was that this was part of a series. There is a paedophile villian, but it's not too creepy, and he gets his comeuppance. And while the plot turns on something a little bit far-fetched, I've read much worse in books for adults. The humor is still there, and even though Blossom is one of those "loner girls without a friend in the world" she never turns into a whiny heroine. I was very worried that the book wouldn't age well, but even as an adult, it's still a good (and amusing) read. Growing up in a small town like Blossom, I loved the echoes this had in my own life. Blossom Culp, social outcast and "a girl with powers" tells her early 20th-century story in the first person voice. I was ghost crazy as a kid, and adored witches, and this book certainly filled the bill. ![]() Įxcellent, and now I remember why I hung onto this so long. ![]() An oldie from my childhood which I just finished re-reading this October - great timing, because it begins on Halloween. ![]()
