"Mendel has famously bad luck, but his penchant for trouble may be the key to saving his remote Jewish village when the Cossacks invade."-- - Random House, Inc.
Cursed from birth, Mendel Schlotz is the unluckiest kid in his village.
Heâs also the only one who can save it.
Ask anyoneâtwelve-year-old Mendel canât do anything right. When he tries to herd goats, they get out. When he tries to chop wood, he breaks the ax. Itâs embarrassing to be called âMendel the Mess Up,â but itâs worse to be so clumsy that he canât even stand to read aloud without destroying the classroom. Nobody expects Mendel to keep out of trouble… least of all himself.
But when the Cossacks invade Mendelâs remote Jewish village of Lintvint (famous for Lintvint kvatch, which is made from a very special ingredient), Mendelâs not the only one in trouble. When he slips away from the mountain caves where his fellow villagers are hiding, out of certainty heâll find a way to make things worse if heâs around them, he discovers an unexpected opportunity to save the day.Â
Mendelâs always been different because everything he does turns into disaster. Now, heâs the only one who can help the people who doubt him.
Could Mendelâs bad luck be the key to saving Lintvint? Or will his plan to drive the Cossacks off go as badly as everyoneâincluding himâexpects?
Sympathetic, funny, and warm, this fast-paced middle-grade graphic novel from a veteran Jewish comics star reminds young readers who feel just a little out of place in their world that sometimes our weaknesses can be our greatest strengths.
