Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan | Goodreads

She's lived with her devout Nana ever since but at thirteen and a half she's tired of being picked up from school, missing out on getting chips on the pier with the popular girls. Additionally, as it’s pointed out by another character, Rain’s insistence that Jenny be taken to the doctor as Rain’s way of admitting that she knows she needs to see a doctor. She’s clearly aware of how rubbish he is at parenting but it’s all she’s ever known from him and she’s pretty much given up on him. Because of this the book was a real emotional read at times and I'm so glad I read it and was able to discuss it with my daughter. Because her mum is obsessed with acting she constantly leaves Apple in charge of Rain for long periods of time.Join our community to get personalised book suggestions, extracts straight to your inbox, 10% off RRPs, and to change children’s lives.

But I guess this had me hoping that she would learn from the mistakes she made, and grow because of them. My dwie, my trzy, my cztery" opowiada o Apple mieszkającej z babcią, ale bardzo tęskniącej za matczynym ciepłem.When she is in love then there will be love hearts around her head also if she is lonely then she will have an empty bubble floating above her head. I know other people seemed to enjoy Apple And Rain though, so don't let this review discourage you if you think you would enjoy it. I think Sarah Crossan’s way of writing Rain and of dealing with her mental illness is really very admirable. They don’t end up hating mum because she was fun and lively but she clearly was too busy to look after them both. And while our world is absolutely filled with worse lives for children, I cannot say reading this book was easy.
