Reviews

[Jazmyne Henry]

This book is about a young boy named Brad who just can't seem to catch a break. Brad faces a series of misfortune and begins to wonder if its more than just luck. This book is great to teach the concept of probability and how it relates to chance.

[Katelyn Warner]

* Good for K-2
* Brad seems to have bad luck all day, but there's a chance it will get better
* Good for a math lesson/classroom library
