THE DAY THE POWER WENT OUT. This item is unavailable.THE DAY THE POWER WENT OUT

When a summer storm suddenly knocks out the power in Bellwether Creek, Gid Ralston and his friends discover how quickly ordinary life can change. With lightning flashing, phones losing battery, doors refusing to open, and Waffles wandering off with a glow stick, everyone must learn to stay calm and think clearly. Guided by Axo, Gid discovers that being prepared is not about fixing everything-it is about knowing what matters most, protecting people, conserving what you may need later, and making smart choices when things become uncertain. Funny, warm, and adventurous, this is a story about courage, responsibility, and thinking ahead.

Leo enjoys creating stories where kids can laugh, explore, make mistakes, solve problems, and discover something new along the way. He especially loves the colorful world of children's books, where technology, friendship, adventure, and imagination can all come together.
