    About this ebook

    After wacky third grader Hazy Bloom starts seeing visions of things that will happen one day in the future, she hopes her "tomorrow power" will help her get the pet she's always dreamed of in this hilarious book by Jennifer Hamburg with illustrations by Jenn Harney.

    It's the annual Third Grade Leadership Challenge, where each third-grade class plans and hosts a fundraiser. Hazel "Hazy" Bloom, however, has other things on her mind—like proving to her parents she’s responsible enough to get a pet iguana. But when Hazy's "tomorrow power"—her ability to see visual clues about things that will happen one day in the future—mistakenly causes her to have a brilliant idea for a Pet Day fundraiser, her classmates put her in charge. Hazy's annoyed, until she realizes 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 determined to make sure her team ends up on top—but it’s not so easy when her tomorrow visions keep throwing her plans into disarray!

      Hazy Bloom and the Pet Project - Jennifer Hamburg

      1

      My name is Hazy Bloom, and I can see tomorrow. Not next year, not two weeks from now, tomorrow. Here’s how it works: I will be enjoying my day, doing something totally normal, like counting toilet-paper squares, or searching for alien life, or trying to make my own toothpaste, when all of a sudden a tomorrow vision will flash into my head of something that’s going to happen the next day. Sometimes the vision is crystal clear, and other times it’s, well, hazy (ha!). Either way, it’s up to me to figure out what the vision means. The good news is, I always get it right.

      Well, except for the time I turned around all the desks in my classroom as a prank because I was sure we were having a substitute (we weren’t). And that other time I snuck out of science lab because I was positive a wagon full of raw eggs was about to plow into a ticket booth (it didn’t). Then there was the whole Spring Spectacular catastrophe, where I ruined an acrobatic show in front of the entire school …

      Okay, fine. I’m not always right. See, my tomorrow power is pretty new. I’m still trying to figure out how it works, how I got it in the first place, and whether I’ll be getting any other powers soon, such as dolphin translation or invisibility, which would come in very handy in gym class when we are forced to do push-ups. The point is, I’m getting a new iguana.

      Let me back up a bit. It all started this morning, when Elizabeth and I arrived at the school office. Elizabeth Almeida is my BFSB (best friend since birth) and my official tomorrow power sidekick, which is a job she gave herself but I completely agreed to. Whenever I get a tomorrow vision, Elizabeth is the first to know (besides me, of course). Then she helps me figure out if the vision is about something good (sometimes), bad (most of the time), or wonderful (pretty much never). The point is, if you ever end up with a superpower and need a sidekick, well, you can’t call Elizabeth. Because she works with me. Also, I just like having her around because, as my best friend, she’s funny, smart, and basically the nicest person in the whole world.

      She’s also a teensy bit bossy.

      See, Elizabeth gets a little intense when we have something important to do. And this morning, the two of us had been picked to do the morning announcements at school. As far as Elizabeth was concerned, that was right up there with becoming president or discovering a new planet or holding the door open on the way to recess. In other words, very important.

      "Girls, this is so exciting! That was our teacher, Mrs. Agnes. She obviously thought this was important, too, the way she was darting back and forth like we were about to go on national television instead of our school video monitor. Are you ready? Are you nervous? Do you have everything?"

      Elizabeth waved two pieces of paper in her hand. Everything’s right here! Mrs. Agnes didn’t have to worry. Elizabeth was ready. She handed me my paper, which looked like a movie script. It had carefully highlighted lines, some with ELIZABETH in front and others with HAZEL (my real name) in front. I couldn’t help but notice that there were a lot more ELIZABETHs than HAZELs. But that was fine with me. She’s the performer. I’m the secret superhero.

      Okay, this is it! Places, please! Mrs. Agnes squealed.

      Elizabeth smoothed her shirt and checked that we were standing behind the white line marked on the floor (she was; I was not). Then she nodded professionally to Mrs. Agnes, who pushed a button on the side of the camera. It started blinking.

      It’s on! Mrs. Agnes cried for the whole school to hear as an image of Elizabeth and me flashed onto the video monitors in every classroom. Elizabeth was smiling pleasantly into the camera. She looked happy, comfortable, and confident.

      I looked like I was trying to remember when I had last gone to the bathroom.

      Mrs. Agnes pointed at us and mouthed, Action!

      Good morning and happy Friday, Lipkin Lions! Elizabeth announced.

      In case you’re wondering what in the world that means: our school is called Ida Lipkin Elementary School, and our school mascot is the lion. I don’t know why it’s a lion, because if you ask me, it should be something much more exotic, like the Lipkin Llamas or the Lipkin Lemurs or the Lipkin Squids (who says it has to begin with an L?). The point is, I was busy thinking up different animal mascots and totally missed my turn to speak.

      Hazy Bloom, go! Elizabeth hissed. She jabbed her finger at my paper.

      Oh! I said, fumbling for my line. I began. "My name is Hazy Bloom.
