In this thrilling and hilarious middle grade adventure, a young Filipino-American boy must team up with his ancestor to break the curse thats haunted their family for generations . . . or be trapped in an amulet forever.
Freddie Ruiz is cursed.
While other people may have bad days, Freddie and his family have had bad generations: from bird poop splatting on him during picture day to the many tumbles and trips that earned him the nickname Faceplant Freddie. Hes learned to lay low and keep himself out of troublewhich means:
- no fun
- no friends
- and definitely no risks!
But when he discovers a family heirloom, a century-old amulet from the Philippines thats supposed to bring good fortune, Freddie thinks his luck is finally about to change.
He couldnt be more wrong. Because the spirit of Freddies cranky great-granduncle Ramon is trapped in the heirloom, and the evil spirits responsible for his death have returned with a vengeance. Now, Freddie and his cousin, Sharkey, have thirteen days to break the curse, or Freddie will join Ramon for an untimely afterlife in the amulet.
