Book Review: Shouting at the Rain

Shouting at the Rain is the newest middle grade novel by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, author of Fish in a Tree and One for the Murphys. Set in a fishing town in Cape Cod, this is a delightful summer read about how people can look at the same situation and see different things.

It's summer, and Delsie is looking forward to seeing her friend Brandy come back to town. But Brandy has changed, and starts hanging out with Tressa, who is downright mean. She also meets Ronan, a new kid in town people don't quite trust.

This book is great for any kid who lost a friendship or feels left out. Another neat fact about it is the author included anagrams in the book. Be sure to read the author's note at the end.

"The sun is always in the sky, it just gets hidden sometimes."
