Bernie Bridges is the luckiest kid at Rotten School.
He wins every game he plays, doesn't get into any trouble,
and even finds money! So what's the catch? For the good
luck to stick, Bernie has to keep his parrot, Lippy, on
his shoulder wherever he goes.
Lippy's luck is so
powerful that Bernie's friends, Feenman and Crench, want
in, too. But the minute they touch Lippy, everything
changes—Lippy turns into a bad-luck bird.
Now
nothing Bernie does goes right. Bad luck follows him
wherever he goes. There's only one solution, thinks
Bernie. He'll give the bird away to his archrival, Sherman
Oaks.
But hold on! Now Sherman is having all the
good luck in the world. Has Bernie made a big mistake? Can
he get both his bird and his good luck back—or has his
luck run out for good?
