Synopses & Reviews
Freesias life is perfect. She lives on the beautiful tropical island of Agalinas, surrounded by idyllic weather, fancy dress shops, and peacocks who sing her favorite song to wake her up in the morning. She has so many outfits she could wear a different one every day for a year and not run out.
Lately things on the island may have been a bit flippy: sudden blackouts, students disappearing, even Freesias reflection looking slightly . . . off. But in Freesias experience, its better not to think about things like that too much.
Unfortunately for her, these signs are more than random blips in the universe. In Bubble World by Carol Snow, Freesias perfect bubble is about to pop.

Review
“Snow nestles a powerful message about bravery, self-confidence, and integrity in the midst of fluffy, irreverent talk of fashion and teen idols and a virtual world at the crossroads of The Matrix and Barbies Dreamhouse.” —Booklist
“Readers who enjoyed Libba Brays Beauty Queens will relish Snows sarcastic wit, and fans of Neal Shustermans Unwind Dystology series will recognize an alternate world in which parents have exclusive rights over the lives of their children. Teens will enjoy following Freesia in this humorous sci-fi novel.” —School Library Journal
