Shouting at the Rain by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this compelling middle grade book so much! Delsie and her grandmother live in a little nook of Cape Cod and the summer brings many changes Delsie has trouble working through. Her Grammy doesn't like to discuss Delsie's mom and she has so many questions, her best "summer" friend turns on her with fake friend, but Delsie begins a new friendship with Ronan, a boy just arrived to the Cape with this Dad. Delsie, Ronan, her grandmother and her neighbors are such strong, relatable characters and I fell in love with Delsie's personality, not wearing shoes all the time, her explorations and adventures with Ronan, and her summer of discovery. This is a MUST read, kids will GET Delsie and Ronan!
