The book Kissing the Rain is about a fat kid, Michael (nicknamed Moo) who is teased, or RAINED OFF as he calls it, a lot. Every day after school, after the Rain, he goes to a bridge with a highway on it. He goes there to calm his mind and to lose himself at the bridge. One day, he sees two cars pull over. Pretty soon, a fight starts and one guy is killed, but no one is sure who kills him. Moo is one of the few witnesses and the police take a statement from him and he has to go to court.
