title: Murphy's Luck
author: Laskin, Benjamin
description: Sometimes rotten luck is better than no luck at all.
  Jinxed from birth with mystifying bad luck, Murphy Drummer hasn't ventured beyond the safety of his backyard since he was a little boy. To remedy his loneliness, he became the master of a thousand hobbies and as amazing as his crazy luck.
  When events demand that Murphy go in search of a new, luck-free sanctuary to spare the world from his puzzling disorder, his relentless whammy plows a riotous path of mayhem and miracles straight to Joy Daley--an incurable optimist who never forgot to thank her lucky stars. The comical, topsy-turvy effects from the collision of Lady Luck and Murphy's jinx whimsically upends the lives of everyone in their orbit.
  At first, Murphy's victims question who he is--at last, they'll be questioning who they aren't.
  If you like a fresh, feel-good story with lots of laughs and a dollop of mystery on top, then you'll love Benjamin Laskin's riotous novel.
