Serendipity is the luckiest kid in the world. But what happens when the luckiest kid in the world becomes extraordinarily unlucky, in this debut graphic novel.Serendipity is your classic overachiever. She's class president, lead in the school play, and star of the basketball team. She's also incredibly lucky, like, wins everything all the time lucky, even random radio raffles.Which is how she finds herself with free tickets to the town carnival where an accident curses her with bad luck FOREVER.And just like that Serendipity's luck really does seem to run out. Missed shots, fumbled lines, and a slip in the polls. Can it get any worse? Oh yes it can. Permanent bad hair days.Serendipity becomes convinced the curse is real. She's definitely not disorganized or spread too thin. Nope, it's all the curse. And she'll have to find a way to reverse it soon. Hilariously charming and illustrated in sugar pink hues, this graphic novel is a treat for kids who love middle school dramas and adorable, if impulsive characters. It's a perfect story for overstressed overachievers looking for a warm reminder that stepping back doesn't mean stepping down. In fact, sharing the spotlight with good friends is perhaps the luckiest thing of all.
