Rain Rising by Courtne Comrie

3.0

This book is a great middle grade novel that explores so many important topics such as racial injustice, mental health, and asking for help when you need it. Often when there are that many "heavy-hitting" topics in a book it can seem forced and scattered, but this novel artfully wove them all together into a cohesive, compelling story. The characters are relatable which helps readers connect to them. This novel would be a great addition to any middle or high school bookshelf.
