Synopsis

826 Seattle is pleased to present their third anthology, What To Read In The Rain. Within the pages of this handy companion, you will find essays, super short stories, a few longer stories, recipes, advice, and other information, all written by adults and children.

These pieces of writing have three important things in common:

* They are in some way connected to the Pacific Northwest.
* They are written by fans of 826 Seattle, a youth writing center located in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle.
* They are all a good read.

If you were to read this entire book you would, as a result, know more about the following things:

* Farming on Bainbridge Island
* Being Jewish in Seattle
* Making baklava.

You may wonder things such as the following:

* Is the hundred boxes story fact or fiction?
* Why did it take Ryan Boudinot so long to find Doris Burn?
* How could anyone miss Florida after a minute in the Pacific Northwest?

And you will be glad for things like the following:

* Recipes from famous people.
* Superlative writing advice from a Northwest icon.
* Some comprehensive numbers comparing Spokane with Seattle, which will be surprisingly useful at cocktail parties and on other occasions.

All in all, you ll be extremely glad you encountered this book.

Features stories, recipes, and essays from 826 Seattle students, and Tom Robbins, Megan Kelso, John Moe, Jess Walter, David Guterson, Ryan Boudinot, Paul Hughes, Charles R. Cross, Bharti Kirchner, Teri Hein, Michael Chabon, Katheen Alcala, Tom Douglas, Myla Goldberg, Po Bronson, Lyall Bush, Eli Sanders, and Lauren Weedman.
