I'm currently teaching myself to touch type, and am in the awkward sore-finger-muscles stage, so I'm going to get some practice in by writing up some books that I haven't read recently, but enjoyed a lot when I did read them, and would like to have a record of for those days when you need to know that the book you're reading will be a good one. So.
Summerland is set in a world where it hasn't rained in decades. Jamie has been sent on a 'quest' by her meteorologist father (who has since disappeared) to find the rain, with the help of a guide stone and some unlikely companions.
To be honest with you, I'm not sure if this is a good book or if it just has nostalgic appeal for me so I overlook its flaws. I read this book in a library when I was a young teen, and eventually - years later - tracked down a paper copy. I enjoy reading it because there are a lot of interesting characters, who interact well with each other through most of the book (one scene is rather clumsy but no book is perfect, right?) and a few of the plot devices are quite unusual. It's not a great read, but it's a good one all the same.
