Shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award

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.

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