First her brother disappears, then the mysterious Sol appears in her life and turns everything upside down. Coincidence or not, this is the moment when 16-year-old Tonia questions everything, including the surveillance system she lives under. She switches off her sensor, logs out and flees to the forest, where, despite a severe drought, it rains in a strange way. What began as a small escape becomes a breathtaking search for the secret of the ‘rain children,’ during which Tonia stumbles upon an unheard-of truth. A stirring novel about a girl who is burning with curiosity and finally knows what is worth fighting for. • An exciting dystopia that begins with an escape from a totalitarian surveillance zone into the wild forest • As thrilling and gripping as a crime novel • From the author of the bestsellers Tanz der Tiefseequalle (Dance of the Deep Sea Jellyfish) and Feuerwanzen lügen nicht (Firebugs Don't Lie)
