\"\"Serendipity by Gabbie Benda<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Serendipity is the luckiest kid in the world. But what happens when the luckiest kid in the world becomes extraordinarily unlucky<\/i>, in this debut graphic novel.<\/b><\/p>\n

Serendipity is your classic overachiever. She’s class president, lead in the school play, and star of the basketball team. She\u2019s also incredibly lucky, like, wins everything all the time lucky<\/i>, even random radio raffles.<\/p>\n

Which is how she finds herself with free tickets to the town carnival where an accident curses her with bad luck FOREVER.<\/p>\n

And just like that Serendipity\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Serendipity becomes convinced the curse is real. She\u2019s definitely not disorganized or spread too thin. Nope, it\u2019s all the curse. And she’ll have to find a way to reverse it soon.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t mean stepping down. In fact, sharing the spotlight with good friends is perhaps the luckiest thing of all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019ll be up to the kids to trust each other\u2019s wits, capabilities and strengths in order to get through the crisis and get each other home safely.<\/p>\n

Vividly and imaginatively written, with a humorous cast of cool characters, this first in a trilogy is brought to life in twenty black-and-white illustrations by Korean artist Hyun Song We.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
