RAIN REIGN

A New York Times Bestseller!

Rose Howard is obsessed with homonyms. She's thrilled that her own name is a homonym, and she purposely gave her dog Rain a name with two homonyms (Reign, Rein), which, according to Rose's rules of homonyms, is very special. Not everyone understands Rose's obsessions, her rules, and the other things that make her different – not her teachers, not other kids, and not her single father.

When a storm hits their rural town, rivers overflow, the roads are flooded, and Rain goes missing. Rose's father shouldn't have let Rain out. Now Rose has to find her dog, even if it means leaving her routines and safe places to search.

Hearts will break and spirits will soar for Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin, a powerful story brilliantly told from Rose's point of view.

Praise for Rain Reign:

"We readers . . . are meant to love Rose the way her uncle does and the way her dog, Rain (homonym Reign) does. And it would be hard not to. Martin, known to a generation of Baby-Sitters Club readers, cleverly weaves the trials of daily life for kids like Rose throughout a story about love and about coping with disaster." —The Los Angeles Times

"Rose has a diagnosis of Asperger’s, and her world of comforting homonyms, rules and prime numbers is repeatedly challenged by social interactions of which she has no innate understanding. Newbery Honor author Martin crafts a skillful tale that engages readers’ sympathy for everyone portrayed in the story. . . sophisticated, emotionally honest storytelling." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
