A hilarious middle-grade novel about one boy's quest to get rid
of a ridiculous amount of bad luck!
After a traumatic run-in with the fortune teller
from a visiting funfair - thanks to an unfortunately-timed
sneeze - Riley finds himself CURSED.
Life as he knows it quickly becomes a catalogue of disasters
- from accidentally supergluing himself
to his classmates and ruining the
school football team's sponsorship deal, to flooding
his house and losing class 4's
pet rabbit - Riley knows the bad luck is out to get him.
Enter new kid: Brad Chicago. He's super-cool, well-groomed
and stylish, with an excellent stationery collection. And for
some reason he wants to be Riley's friend. Can Riley
get rid of the curse before Brad discovers he's
a walking disaster?
Laugh-out-loud funny, warm-hearted and anarchic in a way that
readers will love.
Brought to life with Aleksei Bitskoff's lively, humorous illustrations.
Perfect for fans of Kid Normal, David Solomons' My
Brother is a Superhero and David Baddiel.
