About This Book
In the fifth book of the popular Upside-Down Magic series, Willa struggles with her unique magical ability to create rain, often uncontrollably. Her emotional outbursts directly cause physical storms, leading to flooded classrooms and jeopardizing her grades and friendships. This story is a clever metaphor for managing big feelings like anger and sadness, and the challenges of feeling different. It explores themes of self-acceptance, resilience, and the importance of understanding one's own emotional landscape. Perfect for early to late elementary readers, it offers both magical adventure and a relatable journey of self-discovery.
When Willa's upside-down magic rains, it pours. Clouds form under ceilings. Classrooms get flooded. Umbrellas must always be nearby, just in case Willa has an outburst. Willa hates being the source of such sogginess. Even worse, the more she rains, the badder she feels ... and the badder she feels, the more she rains. Includes foil jacket and cover.
