Rainbow Grey
ARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Rainbow grey is the epitome of colourful and humorous storytelling, with an immersive and creative alternative to reality. Filled with bums, farts and explosions perfect for the younger middle-grade reader, I know I would have been grasped by the world of Rainbow Grey at that age.
Ray Grey, a dyslexic outcast is here to save the day, a magicless weathering who aspires to be as courageous and wonderous as her hero. It's a good introduction to parasocial relationships and for kids especially to be still weary of their heroes. The undercurrent of this story to me shows the ecological impact of nature and weather, which I'm sure will inspire some of the next generations into geography and Meteorology. Along with the longing for colourful hair to be just like Rainbow herself.
Fun narration with very fitting accents which enhances the story and compels you to carry on listening. I highly recommend listening to the audio while flicking through the book to see the wonderful illustrations.
