Fantastic

My daughter (3rd grade, 6th grade reading level) has read hundreds of books. She says it's the BEST book she has ever read. She couldn't put it down and read it all in one night. She can't stop talking about it!!

Hilarious fun ensues.

Sue Wilkowski's THE BAD LUCK CHAIR tells of Allison, who one day finds everyone standing by her desk, and discovers the infamous school Bad Luck Chair is about to become hers. She seems doomed to be cursed forever - but some secret Chair information helps explain how to reverse the curse - and Addy may be the only kid who can stand up to it. Hilarious fun ensues.

Find a Comfy Chair! Great Reading!

As one who also tried to avoid a creepy desk chair @ my elementary school, this title drew me in; but fabulous story telling made it a winner for the two neices & a daughter's friend whom I bought copies for! All 3 girls (ranging in school grade from 3rd to 6th) read the book repeatedly, finding lots of fun mystery & creative problem solving on the part of Addy and her friends.
