The story, written by a very talented young author is fast-paced, action-packed and thought-provoking. Rainbow's clear written style and illustrations quickly draw the reader into the exciting process of moving house, with new neighbours, friends, school, teachers and most importantly, a new dog! But what is different and refreshing about Rainbow is that not everything is sugar-coated, the story beautifully captures the emotion of leaving old friends behind, neglecting those closest to you and coping with tragedy. A truly refreshing read.
