The Duck With No Luck by Gemma Merino

What's a fed-up duck who feels all out of luck supposed to do? Go and ask a wise owl for some help, of course. But watch out for the hungry Fox!

After a particularly unlucky moment, Duck has had enough! Heading off to ask Wise Owl why he's so unlucky, he comes across a lonely swan, a hungry fox and a bare tree, all looking for answers of their own. Will Wise Owl's advice help Duck to find his luck after all? And has he just been looking in the wrong place all along?

From the award-winning Gemma Merino, author of the The Crocodile Who Didn't LIke Water (over half a million copies sold worldwide), The Duck With No Luck is a funny and uplifting tale about how to take a more positive look at life and appreciate all you have.
