The Bad Luck Chair

by Sue Wilkowski, Susan Wilkowski

Every kid at Brookside Elementary knows the legend. If you sit in The Bad Luck Chair, you’ll be cursed with bad luck forever. When Addy walks into the classroom to find it at her desk, she feels like she is living her worst nightmare. How can she, a quiet kid who just wants to go unnoticed, stand up to The Chair? Her classmate Katie claims to have secret information that explains how to reverse the curse. She’s convinced that Addy is the only one who can do it. Does Addy have what it takes, or will The Chair make her the butt of more bad luck?

My favorite part about The Bad Luck Chair was the end when they told us what Addy's real name was. I would recommend this book to a friend because it was super good! It had a lot of action and funny stuff in it. --Paul

It was a fun book. I read it to by boys who are 7 and 13. My 7 year old gave it a 3 and my 13 year old gave it a 4. We ended up giving it a 4 for being fun and entertaining.
