註釋When Oliver Campbell's little sister, Lily, dies, and his parents leave, darkness prevails. As he fumbles for the light, his two half-brothers and his two friends do their best to guide him, but their task is heavy. Radiant Jasvandi, enigmatic and deaf, enters Ollie's world and sets it ablaze. Bedazzled by the intensity and burdened with her secrets, he runs away. Back from London he is swayed to join Jasvandi, Poppy, and Kamal on their Los Angeles trip where the sun shines on him once more. The fire is reignited. Yet, as swiftly as the flames flash, they are smothered. Finding solace in his plants and saxophone, Ollie's grandparents take the torch, leading him to brighter days. But gloom is not far behind him... Craving the light more than ever, like a dying flower, he makes one last lurch for his world of plants and trees. He aches for peace and happiness. Will his new life in Cornwall finally lead him there...? 'Blue Rain has great emotional power while being very funny at times. Julia Johnston has created a wonderful character in Oliver. We share his struggles to understand the world, and the way she portrays his relationships with his friends and family is exceptional and beautifully done. I particularly loved Kamal and the grandparents.'Anne Clark, literary agent, Anne Clark Literary Agency'What a gorgeous, engaging, and unique voice.'
