Rain

'They're not going to like me whatever I do . . .'

Rain has always lived on the road with her artist mum, Max, in their colourful old bus. She's never been that bothered about fitting in, or about finding the dad she's never known. All that changes when their bus breaks down, they put down roots for the first time - and Rain gets to go to school at last! But Rain hadn't reckoned on having to deal with the way kids at school treat anyone who is different. Will her friendship with fellow outsider Daniel be enough to help her stick at it?

This interesting book is about growing up and learning to live with being an outsider. It will appeal to teenagers who want something a little different

A very interesting and unusual storyline

The language of children is Burningham's

—— TES

This is Wilson on top form, moving with ease between reality and fantasy, darkness and light

—— Books for Keeps

Another fantastic read from Jacqueline Wilson
