Bookroo's summary

Rose Howard, a girl with a passion for homonyms, faces her greatest challenge when a storm sweeps through her town, and her beloved dog, Rain, goes missing. With her routines disrupted, Rose must venture into the unknown to find Rain, confronting fears and pushing boundaries. As she navigates a world that often misunderstands her, Rose's journey becomes one of courage and determination. Will she find Rain and bring her home? This heartfelt tale explores the power of love and resilience in the face of adversity.

From the publisher

A New York Times Bestseller! Rose Howard is obsessed with homonyms. She’s thrilled that her own name is a homonym, and she purposely gave her dog Rain a name with two homonyms (Reign, Rein), which, according to Rose’s rules of homonyms, is very special. Not everyone understands Rose’s obsessions, her rules, and the other things that make her different – not her teachers, not other kids, and not her single father. When a storm hits their rural town, rivers overflow, the roads are flooded, and Rain goes missing. Rose’s father shouldn’t have let Rain out. Now Rose has to find her dog, even if it means leaving her routines and safe places to search. Hearts will break and spirits will soar for this powerful story, brilliantly told from Rose’s point of view.
