Ann Mathews Martin is the author of many great books. She has been in interested in writing stories to even before she learned how to write! Ann M. Martins would tell her mother stories so she could write them down for her.
Rain Reign is about a girl named Rose Howard who loves homonyms. Her name is a homonym (Rose, Rows) and she even named her dog a homonym ( Rain, Reign, Rein). Rose has a syndrome called Asperger's syndrome.
Rose got Rain when Rose's dad was coming home from work and he saw a lost dog in the Rain. Rose asked her father whose dog it was, but her father said the dog had no collar, and no identity on it, so she could keep the dog. Rose's father rarely gave her gifts. One day during a storm, when they had Rain for a few years, Rose's father let Rain out to use the bathroom. Rain usually sleeps by Rose, so when Rose saw that Rain was not there she asked her father. Her father said that he let Rain out a few hours ago and never let her in because she would find her way back. Rain was lost. Rose had a plan though. Rose decided to call every possible animal shelter. In one animal shelter rain is there. Rose asked her uncle to drive her there. They scanned Rain and found a micro chip so they had to check for identification. They found out that Rain real name was Olivia and she belonged to some other family. Rose wanted to give rain back to her original owner, but Rose's father was angry because Rain was a gift that he gave to Rose. In the end, Rose gave Rain back to her original family.
Rain Reign is one of my favorite books because I like the story and characters. I was hooked to this book and I could not stop reading till I finished it!! I think anybody would like this book!!
