“When you’ve got middle schoolers who are too young to fully snatch John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars and love dogs, give them this sweet tearjerker.” — School Library Journal

“On this beguiling tearjerker, a foster kid’s luck slowly changes after he befriends a scruffy pup he finds out of doors the library.”–People magazine

Ben Coffin has never been one for making friends. As a former foster kid, he knows people can up and leave without such a lot as a good-bye. Ben prefers to spend his time with the characters in his favorite sci-fi books…until he rescues an abandoned mutt from the alley next-door to the Coney Island Library. Scruffy little Flip leads Ben to befriend a fellow book-lover named Halley—yes, like the comet—a girl unlike someone he has ever met. Ben begins thinking of her as “Rainbow Girl” on account of her crazy-colored clothes and her laugh, pure magic, the kind that makes you smile away the stormiest day.  Rainbow Girl convinces Ben to write a novel with her.  But as their story unfolds Ben’s life begins to resolve, and Ben should discover for himself the truth about friendship and the meaning of home.
