Tweens can join a discussion about Freddie vs. The Family Curse by Tracy Badua. Ages 10-13. Please register.
"Freddie Ruiz is cursed. While other people may have bad days, Freddie and his family have had bad generations: from the bird poop splattering on him on picture day to the many tumbles and trips that have earned him the nickname Faceplant Freddie. He's learned to lie low and keep himself out of trouble–which means no fun, no friends, and definitely no risks.
But when he discovers a family heirloom, a century-old amulet from the Philippines that's supposed to bring good fortune, Freddie thinks his luck is finally about to change.
He couldn't be more wrong. Because the spirit of Freddie's 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." – inside jacket description
