This is a fun and fast paced middle grade story about a young boy who is the son of an umbrellalla maker. Oscar lives in a place where it rains constantly and there are many different types of rain, that’s how much rain they get. So the umbrella business is always booming here.

The people of the city tend to buy cheap not well supported umbrellas just to get them through the day. The issue is they are breaking and just not good for the amount of rain they get. The people of the city would rather pay less then pay more for something that will last and actually work.

Oscar dad needs more help at his shop so his dad asks him to leave school to become his apprentice. Oscar doesn’t like this his passion is art not making and selling umbrellas.

In the story Oscar and his best friend Saige try to understand the weird weather in the city and other darkness that may occurcuring.

This was a fun lightheaded fast paced read I really enjoyed it.
