About this deal

Before too long Agent Nephia, head of the Bureau of Unexplained Meteorological Sightings (cheeky acronym), arrives to investigate. No further details to avoid spoilers. Nachdem ich Rias erstes Abenteuer so geliebt habe, habe ich mir von ihrem zweiten natürlich sehr viel erhofft und was soll ich sagen, meine Erwartungen konnten komplett erfüllt werden! Laura Ellen Anderson hat mal wieder etwas Bezauberndes aufs Papier gebracht, ein rundum gelungenes Kinderbuch, das wie sein Vorgänger ist: Aufregend, lustig, warmherzig und voller Kreativität, Magie und Überraschungen. While aimed at readers aged 7-10 years, I feel that Anderson’s books will appeal to young at heart readers of all ages. Since discovering her Amelia Fang series, I have combined the ebooks with the unabridged audiobook editions as I love her quirky art work as well as her storytelling skills. Ten-year-old Ray Grey lives in the magical Weatherlands, high in the sky! She is surrounded by Weatherlings with astounding weather power at their fingertips … but poor Ray doesn't have ANY magic! The second book in a magical new series from best-selling author and illustrator, Laura Ellen Anderson!

Für Mädchen und Jungen ab 8 Jahren ist das Buch sehr gut zum Selberlesen geeignet und dank den kurzen Kapiteln und zahlreichen Zeichnungen wird es auch den größten Lesemuffel überzeugen. This was Book 3 in Laura Ellen Anderson ‘s Rainbow Grey series. It is a brilliant illustrated magical adventure intended for readers 7-10 years old, though I feel that Anderson’s books will appeal to readers of all ages. Young Weatherlings are bonded to a cloud -creature that emerge from Puff Pods. These become their lifelong companions. Rainbow’s is Nim, the delightful cat cloud while her Dad has a whale-shaped cloud named Waldo. Rainbow Grey may be only ten years old but the future of the whole world depends on her! It's up to Ray to defeat Tornadia Twist - the greatest villain that ever lived . . . The newest book from Laura Ellen Anderson, and it took me a bit to read (got the book end of March and it took me till the mid of June before I started reading) but here we are! As soon as I started I couldn’t stop. It was just that well-written.When all of the cloud creatures start disappearing – including Ray’s own beloved cloud cat, Nim – Ray and her friends have a mystery to solve. Ray is sure that a dark magic is behind the disappearances. Can she work out what is going on before cloud magic is lost forever and Earth is destroyed by the ultimate storm . . .? I was just so pissed at everyone everywhere and how they treated Ray. Like she was a bad person. Yes, she has rainbow magic, but instead of being accepting that she has a lot to learn you clearly expect her to do it all perfectly in one go + you keep distrusting her (which is also not helping someone). I just wanted to yeet some snowballs to these people. To make them cool down and think. This is a child. She is trying. She saved your asses last time as well. Be kind. Be nice. Support her in every way you can. 😐 Endlich geht es mit Ria Regenbogen weiter! Da der erste Band ein absolutes Highlight für mich war, musste ich natürlich auch die Fortsetzung unbedingt bei mir einziehen lassen. Auf mein Wiedersehen mit Ria und Co. habe ich mich tierisch gefreut. Auch dieser Band endet recht abgeschlossen, lässt aber genügend Spielraum für eine weitere Fortsetzung. Auf Englisch gibt es diese sogar schon und da hoffe ich nun sehr, dass wir uns auf die deutsche Ausgabe nicht allzu lange gedulden müssen. Auf den dritten Teil freue ich mich schon sehr! Ten-year-old Ray Grey lives in the magical Weatherlands, high in the sky. Ray is surrounded by Weatherlings with astounding weather power at their fingertips, but she doesn't have ANY magic... Until a trip to Earth to find some secret treasure changes Ray's life forever– and she becomes Rainbow Grey.

Die Charaktere sind ebenfalls wieder wunderbar getroffen und werden so liebevoll beschrieben, dass man sie einfach gernhaben muss, vor allem die sympathische und tapfere Ria schleicht sich sofort in das Leserherz. Aber auch ihr niedlicher, explosiver und fluffig-flauschiger Wolkenkater Nim und ihre besten Freunde Minus Permafrost und Nasstaja Niederschlag sind ganz besonders zauberhafte Figuren. Es macht erneut so viel Spaß sie zu begleiten, Langeweile kommt dabei an keiner Stelle auf. Man fiebert, fühlt und bibbert mit den Kindern mit und ihre innige Freundschaft erwärmt einem so richtig das Herz. Freundschaft und Zusammenhalt wird auch diesmal ganz groß geschrieben und auch der Glaube an sich selbst, Mut, Güte und Entschlossenheit sind unter anderem wichtige Bestandteile der Geschichte. Rainbow Grey: Eye of the Storm’ is Book 2 in Laura Ellen Anderson’s charming children’s fantasy about the adventures of Ray Rainbow Grey, who lives in the Weatherlands as part of a community of beings that control the weather. Book 1 covers the origin story of Rainbow Grey and in ‘Eye of the Storm’ she is settling into Sky Academy with the other young Weatherlings. Then mysterious events begin to occur, including the disappearance of a number of personal cloud-creatures. I do love (OK, maybe it is also a dash sad) that when a rainbow person goes bad/her magic is drained that their hair goes monochrome. Tornadia looked like a very funky Cruella de Vil. She is transformed from Ray Grey intro RAINBOW GREY! With the help of her best friends (and exploding cloud cat, Nim) now all Ray has to do is master her powers AND save the world from the ultimate storm …Accompanied by her friends, Ray heads to Earth to locate the lost crystals of Earth and Sky to complete the golden winged staff that she has inherited. While there they meet an English boy named Klaus Bottomly. I love that Ray had such wonderful friends and that they never gave up on her, kept on believing her. They were wonderful. Though Droplett should learn not to splash everyone, I just felt for their other friend and his constant soggy (almost want to put a GIF from Mary Berry here) sandwich. I did love that competition she was captain of though, that seems like such a cool thing to do and I wish I had weather magic! Before too long Agent Nephia, head of the Bureau of Unexplained Meteorological Sightings (B.U.M.S. 😹), arrives to investigate. No further details to avoid spoilers. Ray is getting used to life as Rainbow Grey – she now has ALL the magical weather powers at her fingertips, although she hasn’t quite mastered them yet! In ‘Rainbow Grey: Battle for the Skies by Laura Ellen Anderson the Weatherlands are under threat from Tornadia Twist – the greatest villain that ever lived . . . Rainbow (Ray) Grey has to discover what her ultimate magical gift is and use it to stop Tornadia before she destroys the Weatherlands and the Earth!
