Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve

This was a WONDERFUL book. I can't stress that enough. It was fun and exciting and magical and just plain wonderful. Not bad for a book I picked out purely because the cover had pretty colors.

Polly lives on her family's rhubarb farm. Only, their farm is not like others. It's magical. They grow regular rhubarb and giant rhubarb and chocolate rhubarb. The children live in a castle. Polly's best friend is a plant. Also, it rains every Monday afternoon at 1.

Until it doesn't rain. That's when things get scary.

Suddenly, Polly sees her world falling apart. The plants are dying, her brother is sick, and her aunt wants to sell the farm. Polly believes in magic and she is sure that the world will be right again but how? Slowly, she uncovers clue after clue to her family's secrets. Then all she has to do is figure out how to make it rain.

This was the kind of book that you want to read and read and read again. I loved every minute of it.
