Praise for Blossom

‘Blossom heads along at a great pace to an exciting conclusion. This novel would make a great read-aloud to a Year 3 or 4 class, and would offer some great points for class discussion too. A great jumping off point for lessons about immigration, discrimination, or asylum seekers.’
