Book description
Nicholas Frith has always considered himself to be about as lucky as
the average boy. But while on holiday with his mum, Nicholas
accidentally disturbs an ancient tomb and everything changes.
Nicholas falls under an ancient curse and suddenly misfortune,
calamity and disaster follow him everywhere! The curse can't touch
Nicholas himself, but bad things happen to everyone else around him.
Forced to move from school to school, Nicholas loses hope of ever
lifting the curse or ever finding someone who will risk being his
friend. But one day he meets Fiona - the one person who is prepared to
take that risk. Through Fiona's friendship, Nicholas learns to believe
in himself and break the curse at last, changing his luck for ever.
