The Giant Raindrop

About the Book

“Citizens of Salem, we have a difficult challenge facing us. Just a few hours ago, we were all excited about the amount of rain we were going to receive. Now we realize we did get something huge—a giant raindrop that is large enough to cover and enclose the entire town. The next few hours are critical for Salem. The best scientists in the country are attempting to solve the problem, but the problem is very big, and the time is short.”
