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 his class 4 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.

Award-winning author Simon James Green is best known for his funny books for teens. This is his first book for middle-grade readers.
