Description

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!
