Praise for Rainy Season:  “Ambitiously conceived and sharply observed, this debut novel points to a promising new talent.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) Character Sketches Lane: Lane has a very nervous and jittery nature. It is said that she looks like a mouse. She has dark hair and brown eyes, a small frame and is very short. Her skin is not very tan because she doesn’t spend that much time outside preferring to stay indoors reading. She is approximately 4’7” and is 13 years old. Lane is usually dressed in lightweight clothing such as dresses to survive the humidity of Panama. She usually wears sandals to keep her feet cool. As part of her nervousness, she has a habit of biting her nails. Although she tends to be very quiet and shy, she does have a knack for telling stories. Her stories are usually about Emily, her “babysitter” in Virginia.
