Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve



Mark Twain Nominee
Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve
358 pages

I love award season! Another great read. This fantasy is about a farm where it rains every single Monday at 1:00pm exactly, dragonflies spell, rhubarb plants can talk by moving their leaves. Tourists flock to see the farm and ride the famous umbrella ride, and life couldn't be better for Polly and her family. Until one Monday the rain stops. The plants start to die away, tourist flee after the umbrella breaks down, and Freddy, Polly's brother, becomes deathly ill. Polly must overcome her fears, and find the courage within herself if she is going to save the farm and Freddy. Great book for readers young and old.
