Description

A young prodigy. A band of outcasts. An incredible adventure. In San Diego's South Bay Middle School, Zach Larsson finds he just doesn't belong. He's too young, too smart, and too different; the perfect victim for bullying. The worse his luck gets, the more he dives into his writing to escape real life.

Zach finds acceptance in a diverse group of unpopular kids. As their friendship grows, they discover his adventurous stories are bringing an astonishing mystery into real life. Their quest to solve it takes them across an ocean, and right back to face Zach's biggest fear.

#BadLuckZach embraces second language learning and the cultural mix that makes middle school life that much harder when it's right by the biggest international border crossing in the world.
