When ten year-old Weatherling, Rainbow Grey, ends up with not one gift, not two gifts but ALL the rainbow weather magic gifts imaginable – she’s got a lot to learn and FAST!
Encouraged to show off her new found skills at a family celebration, she makes a mistake with one of her gifts. When the puff pods appear to be empty and baby clouds start to go missing, everyone points at Ray. With no idea what’s created a wobble in Weatherlands, Ray is determined to prove her innocence. When she starts to see the shape of an alluring eye everywhere she looks and her cloud-cat Nim begins to appear and disappear at the drop of a hat, all is definitely not what it seems in her world.
Agent Nephia from the Bureau of Unexplained Meteorological Sightings (B.U.M.S) is sent to investigate the strange goings on, Ray tries to stay out of even more trouble – easier said than done when you’re still learning magic and nothing seems to go right. With the help of her friends and The Book of Forbidden Forces (which was discreetly plucked from a secret shelf but you didn’t read about that, did you?), can she stop the storm that’s brewing, find the missing clouds AND clear her name once and for all? Well, you’ll have to read this amazing adventure to find out. Hold on to your hat, there’s a storm coming!
The second in the Rainbow Grey series from Laura Ellen Anderson takes us on another adventure with our favourite character Ray and her cloud-cat Nim. As ever, beautiful illustrations and exquisite attention to detail in the storyline ensure the reader is on the edge of their seat as Ray tries to solve this enchanting mystery. The fun and mayhem never ends when it comes to Rainbow Grey and friends. I can’t think of a more fitting book to be published on World Book Day – a fantastic tale of friendship and learning that your powers are the most magical of all, one gift at a time – all wrapped up in the pages of a book!
