Drizzle


Van Cleve, Kathleen. Drizzle. New York: Penguin Group, 2010.

I tried. I really did. But a book about a girl whose best friend is a chocolate rhubarb plant is a bit much, even for me. It looks like a really fun story, if you can get past the hyperactive-seventh-grade-stream-of-consciousness style of telling the story, where things will likely make much more sense at the end. It even has a map in the front, and I like stories with maps, but this one, unfortunately, was too random, even for me.
