Drizzle

Author Kathleen Van Cleve delivers a promising debut with this magical novel. Eleven-year-old Polly Peabody lives on a farm like no other. It rains every Monday at 1:00 p.m., the crops taste like chocolate, the bugs can communicate, and Polly¿s best friend is a rhubarb plant named Harry. But when the weekly downpours stop, and Polly¿s brother grows ill, she must figure out how to make it rain again¿or her family¿s future could be destroyed.
¿Cleve¿s debut is emotionally subtle and action packed with a highly memorable setting.¿¿Publishers Weekly
