Praise for Rain Reign:
A Schneider Family Award Winner
An Amazon Best Book of the Year
A Bank Street Josette Frank Award Winner
A Missouri Mark Twain Award Finalist ★ "Newbery Honor author Martin
(A Corner of the Universe) is extremely successful in capturing
Rose's perspective and personality." --Publishers Weekly, starred
review ★ "Sets the bar high. . . . Martin has penned a riveting,
seamless narrative in which each word sings and each scene counts."
--Kirkus, starred review ★ "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, starred review ★ "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, starred review ★ "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, starred review "Ann M. Martin, a
Newberry Honor winner, offers this affecting, elegantly burnished
middle-grade book about a girl with autism. . . . And yet the book
isn't actually about autism, or even any coming-of-age theme. It's
about love and fealty, fear, hope, the release from burdens, and
what kids-all kids-need but often don't get." -The New York Times
