Alien Rain is an incredibly gripping adventure thriller that 10+ year olds will devour. Bree, the main protagonist is a teen girl who is hugely brave and yet the insecurities that all teens feel is also at the fore. The story itself is topical in as much as she lives on Mars, yet would love to live back on Earth. When she is chosen unexpectedly for a mission to go back there she is thrilled but, all is not what she expects, for Earth has been lost to ruthlessness and fear, yet it becomes clear that despite her age it is only Bree that just might be able to put things right. But can her bravery outsmart her insecurities when she can trust no one? Fans of Sally Gardner's Maggot Moon will love this debut novel. Piece of Passion from Janet Thomas, editor: 'Alien Rain was a manuscript I couldn’t stop reading the moment I started it. I love the way Ruth mixes action, adventure, fear, ghosts and really difficult personal choices of loyalty and betrayal, in a story that is constantly moving, pulling the ground from under you. Bree is a great heroine, believeable and brave. Without wanting to give too much away, when we learn why she was chosen for the mission, it broke my heart, and all through I was cheering her on. I love how we share Bree’s wonder when she sees a bird, a fossil or the rain. Whether it’s a lethal attack from genetically modified monsters or the first sight of a frog, Ruth’s writing captures you throughout.’
