Lucky has always considered 13 to be a lucky number. He's the thirteenth child of two parents who are also thirteenth children. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, two weirdos from the Superstitious Society knock on his door and tell him that if he racks up thirteen incidences of the number thirteen before midnight tomorrow, something really horrible will happen to him. Then they leave him to freak out for the next twenty-four hours. ( )

Joseph has always had such good luck that his nickname is Lucky. Tomorrow, he is going to turn thirteen on the thirteenth of the month. He’s the thirteenth child in a family with thirteen kids…and both of his parents are also thirteenth children. With so many thirteens, his luck is bound to run out!

An old man and a woman with a black cat visit Lucky to warn him that he has too many thirteens in his life. And if he collects thirteen thirteens by midnight on his birthday, he’ll unleash evil spirits. Almost as soon as the old man and the woman leave, the bad luck begins. And the thirteens just keep coming: the thirteen doughnuts his teacher gives him, the thirteen he scores on his pop math quiz, the thirteen barks from his normally quiet dog. Now Lucky is driving himself crazy adding up everything he comes across. Can he break the curse of thirteen in time?
I had a fun time reading this with my young Nephew, he really enjoyed it.
This novels is clear why R. L. Stine books have all become classics...for readers of every age. ( )

It's a really good book about a boy named Lucky, and it's almost his birthday. He's thinking about stuff when his doorbell rings, and he thinks it's someone with a present. Instead, it's really old dudes warning him not to get 13 "13s" by midnight.

I read the whole book in one hour! ( )
