Ever-superstitious Alex Mills will do anything to avoid a jinx. Picking up pennies, knocking on wood, collecting rabbit's feet . . . you name it. That is until she steps on a crack and it actually does break her mother's back. To save her mom, Alex must follow Hubbub Caskside, a trusty leprechaun, on a journey through the end of a rainbow to Haphaven, the world where all of Earth's superstitions draw their power. All she needs is a rabbit's foot to save her mom, but she soon discovers the lucky article won't be so easy to retrieve. Not only is the rabbit's foot guarded by Haphaven's most formidable creature, the Jinx, there's also a forest full of trees that knock back if you don't knock on wood, people named Penny who do not like to be picked up, and a particularly vindictive black cat who will not be crossed. As Alex finds herself desperately searching for a way to save her mom, she learns of a mysterious connection between her family's fate and the rulers of Haphaven. With her mother's life on the line and her own fate at stake, Alex must find the strength within herself to unlock the mystery and take back control of the superstitions that have controlled her life, even if it means crossing the Black Cat once and for all.

Graphic novel all about luck and old tales and ideas about what brings it about or keeps the bad away. A girl goes on an adventure to a land where all those myths come from.

Haphaven is a world whose laws seep onto Earth and become our superstitions. Alex has to travel there to battle a Jinx after she steps on a crack and, well, you know...

This was cute and the perfect nightcap read for a busy Friday. I‘m looking forward to hitting #24b4Monday #LitsyPartyofOne #MrBook1inaMillion harder tomorrow. 💪

This is a cute young YA GN, the twists where obvious, but the characters where sweet and the world was interesting. There‘s a connected world where luck and misfortune are created, and when a step on a crack breaks her mothers back, it‘s up to Alex to travel the rainbow and get her luck back. 3/5 stars read if you enjoy world building and don‘t need to think too hard
