Sink your teeth into a bouncy new flavor of superhero: GUM GIRL!

Gabby Gomez loves to chew gum everywhere, even though Mami has warned her against it: There was the time at the art gallery. And don’t forget what happened with her tía Carmen’s parrot! But when Gabby gets gum stuck in her hair, that’s the last straw. Chewing gum is now BANNED.

But one last teeny-tiny gumball couldn’t hurt, right? It's not like Gabby will turn into gum…except, that's exactly what happens! With her new, stretch-tastic powers Gabby can help save the day, but she will have to keep her gummy alter-ego a secret from Mami or else she'll find herself in a really sticky situation.

With Spanish words used throughout the story, readers continue to have opportunities to be fully immersed in Gabby's world—through text, art, and speech. This fully illustrated chapter book series is for the superhero fans inside all of us.
