Rain Reign

Rain Reign  by Ann M. Martin

Rose Howard is obsessed with homonyms. She keeps a list of them and every time she finds a new homonym, she writes it down. Most people think that it’s a waste of time including her single father. When her dog (and best friend) Rain goes missing after a storm, she has to abandon her rules and routines to find the only creature on Earth that completely understands her.

This book was a good read. The author did a great job of expressing Rose’s thoughts. One thing the author did throughout was to put the homonyms of words in parentheses. I understand why the author did it. It helped me see into how Rose sees the world. But as a reader, I felt like it was interrupting the story. I really liked the ending, even though it was sad. The author put in fun twists that makes it almost impossible to guess what is going to happen next.
