You may find yourself having to explain to your children what a drought is, it's so long since we had one, but once that is done this will be a popular book. The story of what happens when Susan sends off for a rain-making kit is told in enjoyably matter of fact prose which belies the lunacy of the plot. The family are very believable, especially the rather grumpy and illogical Dad, and the man from the Council has a certain charm as well. Good for fluent readers or for reading aloud.
