'''Shortlisted for the 2015 CILIP Carnegie Medal'''
'''Shortlisted for the Children's Book Award 2016: Books for Older Readers''' ''A story about sad endings.''<br>''A story about happy beginnings.''<br>''A story to make you realise who is special.''<br>
This is the blurb on the back jacket of ''Apple and Rain'' and it sums up the book just perfectly.
If ''Apple and Rain'' appeals, I think you'd also like [[The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson]] or [[Flightsend by Linda Newbery]].
