Bloomability

__Bloomability__ is a fiction story about a girl named Domenica Santolina Doone, but Dinnie for short. Dinnie is a girl who moves for place to place while her dad is trying to find a new opportunity for him and his family. Dinnie’s sister Stella was having a baby. Her dad was on the road looking for an opportunity again, and her brother Crick was in jail. Her life was kind of falling apart. Dinnie’s Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max “kidnap” her, and she barely knows to Lugano, Switzerland. Uncle Max and Aunt Sandy take Dinnie to the school in her new home now. It may take Dinnie awhile to get used to her big move with her unknown Aunt and Uncle, but she’ll get used to it, it’s nothing new to her. I think it was a good idea though to take Dinnie away since her life was turning around. Dinnie is the main character who has a difficult life. She’s always moving around from town to town with her family. Her father is trying to find a good job opportunity and he’s always saying I found the perfect place to live. It’s the perfect opportunity. Every time the family moved the dad told everyone that it’s a great place to start over. Dinnie has to have a lot of energy to be a traveler. Around Dinnie’s house she hears a boom, and Dinnie runs into her house and screams, “We’re being bombed! We’re going to die!” Then Uncle Max finally explained to her that it was just military practice that they do that every weekend. Dinnie then looked down the path, at the church and then spotted a girl entering the church. Dinnie then followed her into the church. Later the large church bell rang and startled the girl. She then looked at Dinnie, and that is how Dinnie met one of her best friends. They then found out the general answers about each other. Like their name, where they live, and what school their going to. They walked down to town and in the next village Lila called her parents and Dinnie heard her say, “She says she’s the headmaster’s niece. I’m sure she’s safe, Mom.” Though as Dinnie began to know Lila she became more commanding and she began to complain about every little wrong thing. Dinnie sometimes thought that Lila was purposely trying to make a bad impression on people. She always goes to the headmaster, Dinnie’s uncle for every complaint that she makes. She complains about the food, and about her roommate who isn’t American. She once told the headmaster that the food was disgusting, and she asked, “How can you serve this slop?” Even though Lila was a very demanding girl, for some reason Dinnie liked that about her. I think that __Bloomability__ is a realistic book, and I thought that I had many connections to Dinnie. We both travel a lot, like Dinnie we are both going to a new school, and both schools are similar. At times in the book I couldn’t put the book down. Though I thought that the story was a little repetitive, and it explained things for too long. I don’t think that there was much about this book, because there wasn’t a huge plot. Though, I think that a lot of people would like this book if they like books that aren’t too confusing.
