Bookroo's summary
Polly Peabody's world turns upside down when the rain stops falling on her family's magical rhubarb farm. With her brother gravely ill and the farm's future at stake, Polly must unravel the mystery behind the missing rain. Guided by her unusual ally, Harry, a chocolate-tasting rhubarb plant, Polly faces her deepest fears. Can she uncover the secret that ties her family to the rain before it's too late? The clock is ticking, and the farm's fate hangs in the balance.
From the publisher
Eleven-year-old Polly Peabody needs to make it start raining again. It rains every Monday afternoon on her family’s rhubarb farm, until one Monday, when 1:00 P.M. passes without one raindrop. And then Polly’s brother gets sick. Polly has to figure out how everything is connected and make it rain before her Aunt Edith sells the farm. Maybe with the help of her best friend, a talking rhubarb plant named Harry, Polly can face her fears and uncover her family’s magical secret.
