11-year-old Rose is autistic and struggles to understand her classmates. But when her father gives her a stray dog, which she names Rain, the dog becomes her best friend, her anchor in a confusing world. So when Rain goes missing during a storm, Rose refuses to stop looking for her… A touching story from the bestselling author of The Baby-Sitters Club."If you can read, you'll love this book... The deftness with which Martin renders Rose's life is admirable. Don't take it anywhere you wouldn't want to have a sudden burst of tears." - The New York Times"A riveting, seamless narrative in which each word sings & each scene counts." - Kirkus Reviews"Hopeful, but it's also incredibly heartbreaking." - Bustle magazine"A bittersweet tale of an autistic girl and her dog from the author of The Baby-Sitters Club series. It may not be familiar to today's young readers but it's certainly worth discovering." - The Sunday Express"[A] moving, thought-provoking and beautifully crafted novel." - Lancashire Evening Post"A delight to read, this is a sophisticated and very moving piece of storytelling." - LoveReading4Kids"Rose is a character we root for every step of the way. She is resilient, honest, and, in her own odd way, very perceptive; a most reliable narrator." - The Horn Book"Though Rose's story is often heartbreaking, her matter-of-fact narration provides moments of humor. Readers will empathize with Rose, who finds strength and empowerment through her unique way of looking at the world." - School Library Journal"Simplicity, clarity, and emotional resonance are hallmarks of Rose's first-person narrative, which offers an unflinching view of her world from her perspective . . . A strong story told in a nuanced, highly accessible way." - Booklist"Often heart-rending, Martin's narrative relentlessly echoes Rose's autistic traits as it reveals the depth of tragedy which has affected the family - but offers readers resolution in the final pages." - BookTrust"This is a wonderful book. I loved it... A warm and honest portrayal of what it's like to live with autism" - Get Kids into Books
