Description

It's the annual Third Grade Leadership Challenge, where each third-grade class plans and hosts a fundraiser. Hazel "Hazy" Bloom, however, is busy proving to her parents she's responsible enough to get a pet iguana. But when Hazy's "tomorrow power" mistakenly causes her to have a brilliant idea for a Pet Day fundraiser, her classmates put her in charge. Hazy's annoyed, until she realises that if she helps the class win, her parents will finally see that she's responsible enough to get the iguana she's dreaming of. Soon, Hazy's doing everything she can to make sure her class wins - but it's not so easy when her tomorrow visions keep throwing her plans into disarray!

Reviews

"[A] hilarious story centered around family and friendship, with enough action and conflict to propel the plot . . . Harney's delightful pen-and-ink drawings are quirky and expressive, adding even more humor to the already funny text." --Booklist

"Belly-laugh inducing. . . . Readers who enjoyed Hazy's shenanigans in Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power (2017) will for real live have fun with this second adventure." --Kirkus Reviews

Hazy Bloom and the Tomorrow Power:

"Hazy's irrepressible, hilarious narration (punctuated with exclamation points and spelling vocabulary words she likes and dislikes) proves fast-paced and amusing . . . Likely to engage the primary school set with its madcap humor and unpredictable heroine." --Kirkus Reviews

"This series starter strikes a nice balance between drama and levity . . . Hazy may well be a match for Beverly Cleary's spunky Ramona Quimby." --Booklist

"This quickly paced tale features a well-developed main character and lots of funny scenes . . . Hazy's voice is unique, and her quirky personality is showcased on every page . . . Harney's pictures are charming and add to the humor of the story." --School Library Journal
