Description

An absorbing story about standing out from the crowd, from the author of GREEN FINGERS Rain's hippy lifestyle is now over - she and her mum have left their bus behind and moved into a real house. Rain is attending school for the first time, instead of being taught at home by her mum. She knows that she needs to learn things and pass exams to get ahead in life, but dealing with the bullying at school makes it so much harder. She doesn't understand why she's treated so badly just because she's a little bit different.
