What's The Unlucky Kid About

Publisher Summary

A laugh-out-loud graphic novel story collection about a boy who just can’t catch a break (or a fish!).Poor Quin. No matter what he does or where he goes, something always goes horribly - and hilariously - wrong! Like when he gets chased by a swarm of seagulls shouting “Fries!” Or when a plan to remove a loose tooth leaves him hanging by a kite string. Or when he goes fishing and catches … something. But not to worry. This unlucky kid never lets the world get him down. After all, tomorrow just might be his lucky day! High-energy physical comedy spills out of every panel in this three-story collection from Bob Holt. Holt is a writer, illustrator and animator who co-created Hallmark’s Hoops and Yoyo, and he knows just what it takes to make kids laugh. While the nonstop action - and deadpan asides of Quin’s cat - are pitch-perfect for graphic novel fans, it’s Quin’s endearing optimism and resilience that will keep readers turning the pages and (futilely) hoping for the best!
