I liked that somebody lost their dog but actually the dog that they found and thought was theirs was actually someone else’s. It made me sad because someone had to give their dog away, and happy because someone else got their dog back. It made me feel our dog is definitely ours and I checked with my mum that she is chipped.

It’s about a dog and a girl the dog was found and her father brought him home and the girl had autism but when hurricane Susan came they lost rain and when they found her again they belonged to another family and her name was Olivia so rose was very kind and gave rain to them but her father kicked her out so she went to live with her uncle Weldon and they got another dog it was a very nice ending

The girls dad let the dog out when the storm was about to start and they didn't find her until 3 days later

My favourite. Character in this book was Rain/Olivia and I was very happy when Rosie returned rain to the Hendersons. I also found out that book is a prime number.

I felt that the story was too slow and there was not enough drama. I like dramatic stories. The ending was very sad as well

It was a good book if you like dogs and it might help you if you need to find your lost dog.

I didn't think this book was going to be that great at first but it was much better than I thought! It is about a girl called Rose(rows) who is obsessed with hymonyms and prime numbers but when she loses her dog in a hurricane then she has to look for her. When rose finds her dog she relises it is not hers.!
