The Bad Luck Chair
Fourth grader Addison Darby walks into her classroom one morning and finds her chair, her regular, ordinary, happy-to-be-sat-in chair is no longer tucked under her desk. Instead, Brookside Elementary Bad Luck Chair is there!
AHHHHH!
Everyone in Brookside Elementary School knows that if you sit in The Bad Luck Chair, bad, bad, bad things will happen to you. It’s a proven fact. It already happened to everyone who ever sat in it!
PANIC!
Addy can’t just ditch The Bad Luck Chair because Ms. Stern, her teacher, thinks that there’s no such thing as The Bad Luck Chair. Ms. Stern tells Addy to stop being silly and just sit in it!
EEEEK!
What’s a kid to do?
What would you do?

Would you put your butt down in its seat and just wait for the bad luck to start ruining your life? Or would you get brave and figure out a way to conquer The Bad Luck Chair? Put that four legged piece of school furniture in its place! Make it safe to sit in!
If you already read The Bad Luck Chair and you know what happens, shhhh, don’t tell. If you haven’t . . . read it! You’ll laugh, you’ll scream, your jaw will drop open! And you’ll know for sure whether or not The Bad Luck Chair is safe to sit in once more!
