Rain Reign Reigns

Rain Reign by Ann Martin is a terrific book about a girl, her father, and her very special dog named Rain. Homonym-loving Rose struggles with Asperger's Syndrome, and her father thinks he is doing something special for her by coming home with a found stray dog. If you like books about social issues, or just stories about dogs, you will absolutely love this book (you'll laugh, you'll cry!). Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster of a story.
