More Description11-year-old Rose is autistic and struggles to understand her classmates. But when her father gives her a stray dog, which she names Rain, the dog becomes her best friend, her anchor in a confusing world. So when Rain goes missing during a storm, Rose refuses to stop looking for her... A touching story from the bestselling author of The Babysitters Club.
HOW TO LOOK FOR A LOST DOG is brilliantly told from 11-year old Rose's point of view, as she deals with the mental and emotional challenges that come with her Asperger's Syndrome and obsession with homonyms. She's thrilled that her own name has a homonym (rows), and she purposely gave her new dog Rain a name with two homonyms (reign, rein). But not many people understand Rose's obsession, her rules, and the other things that make her different - not her teachers, not the kids at school, and not her single father. Then a massive storm hits Rose's rural town and Rain goes missing. Now Rose must go on a mission to find her dog, even if it means abandoning the safety of her routines and rules to search.
