# The Umbrella Maker's Son - Hardcover

by **Katrina Leno** (Author)

**From a critically acclaimed author comes a fantastical middle grade novel about a boy determined to prove there's more than just the weather behind his rainy town.**

Oscar Buckle lives in a city where it's always raining. And when it isn't raining, it's _about_ to rain, so the townspeople have learned to embrace it. Oscar's father is an umbrella maker--appropriate for a place where you can't leave home without one!--but while Buckle Umbrellas are strong, reliable, and high quality, they're _expensive_. Because of this, people are buying from the competitor instead, which is threatening Oscar's family's business.

To make ends meet, Oscar is forced to quit school and work in his father's shop as an apprentice. But when extraordinary events start to occur in their rainy town, Oscar becomes suspicious of their competitor. Desperate to save his town, Oscar must enlist the help of his best friend, Saige, to discover if there's more than nature involved in their city's weather.
