Slip into your wellies and get ready for a splashing good time with The Amazing World of Gumball: The Storm! The biggest weather event in the history of Elmore has blown into town with its sights set firmly on the Watterson family. Not one to let some bad weather spoil their day they try to make the best of things…but when everything starts going wrong, they realize they might be in over their heads. 

It all starts with the power going out, leaving Gumball and Darwin to figure out how to have fun without video games – not an easy task. Elsewhere, Richard pilots a catastrophic attempt to fix a leak in the ceiling so one measly puddle will cease driving his household absolutely crazy. It’s one calamity after the other for the Watterson’s, but will they drown under the stress or finally make it to bluer skies? 

Kiernan Sjursen-Lien (Over the Garden Wall) crafts a downpour of good-hearted humor and fun as the wonderfully cartoonish art by Shadia Amin brings the entire story together!
