The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang
​​Eugenia Wang never gets to do anything fun.
​
She’s never celebrated her birthday on her actual birthday, April 4, because of her mom’s belief in the Chinese superstition that four is an unlucky number. Her mom won’t even let her go to a comic art summer camp because she thinks art is a waste of time. This year, though, Eugenia is determined to defy her mom, and that means applying for camp, partying on her actual birthday, and maybe inviting her supercute crush Enrique to her party, too. But then Eugenia gets hit in the head with a sneaker during PE and starts getting weird, unnerving visions of impending doom about her upcoming birthday. It might be the aftereffect of her head injury, or maybe she’s just anxious about turning thirteen. As the visions get worse, Eugenia suspects an unseen force may be sending her messages through her artwork. If she’s haunted after all, Eugenia will have to figure out why before it’s too late. Even more horrifying, she may have to do the unthinkable: admit her mom was right.
