The Dreadful Future of Blossom Culp | 
pickThe 3rd & next-to-last book in the Blossom Culp series, (which I discovered by chance on Kindle, & have been devouring ever since). I‘m the first one to review this on Litsy, & I hope I‘m far from the last. This series is a hidden gem. Can‘t even consider it “juvenile fiction” or even YA, as it is so much more. This series runs deep. It is so “real”. This book, even more than the others, proves how it is universal. Stack it. Read it.
Literary_Siren Unfortunately Blossom Culp and the Sleep of Death is not on kindle! But you must read it! I read these “out of order” when I got the afore mentioned book at a book fair. 4y
Jess_Franzino @literary_siren UGH! Worst news ever! I will have to find a print copy, then. I‘m dying to see if Alexander stops being a turd 😂 4y
Literary_Siren I don‘t remember if he does. I need to reread the series but if you send me your address I‘ll loan you my copy! jayme31687@gmail.com 4y

Jess_Franzino @Literary_Siren I think I just found a copy, but will let you know ❤️ They seriously need to re-launch this series. We need more heroines like Blossom nowadays. The series as a whole is ahead of its time and vastly underrated. 4y
Jess_Franzino @literary_siren Found a used copy on Amazon for only $5. Ordered it ❤️ 4y
Literary_Siren That‘s awesome! And I agree. I loved the series when I was younger and I know I still would! 4y
Jess_Franzino @literary_siren It really is ageless, and I truly think labeling it as “Juvenile” fiction, has done it a disservice, especially nowadays. Some pretty heavy and mature stuff in there. YA, I could see. As much as I adore contemporary YA, I feel that many YA writers of today could take note on how to realistically portray teens and strong female protags from this series. 4y
