“A fantastic novel. . . . It’s suspenseful and often wildly funny. You are going to like this a lot.”—Stephen King

“A touchingly imagined portrait of friendship and community.”—Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He’s got a couple of close friends, a steady paycheck dealing with irate travelers for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be mostly a lucky guy—despite the fact that he’s suffered from a debilitating disease since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair.

Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends his free time observing his neighborhood from his front porch. One young woman passes by so frequently that spotting her out the window has become part of his daily routine. Until the day he’s almost sure he sees her being kidnapped.

Funny, suspenseful, and moving, How Lucky is the unforgettable story of a fiercely resilient young man living with a physical disability and his efforts to solve a mystery unfolding right outside his door.

 

“Una novela fantástica. . . . Es lleno de suspenso y, a menudo, tremendamente divertido. Esto te va a gustar mucho”.—Stephen King

“Un retrato conmovedoramente imaginado de la amistad y la comunidad”.—Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

Daniel lleva una vida rica en la ciudad universitaria de Atenas, Georgia. Tiene un par de amigos cercanos, un sueldo fijo que trata con viajeros iracundos de una aerolínea regional y, por supuesto, durante unos días gloriosos cada otoño, partidos de fútbol universitario. Se considera un tipo mayormente afortunado, a pesar de que sufre una enfermedad debilitante desde que era un niño pequeño, que lo ha dejado incapaz de hablar o moverse sin una silla de ruedas.

Confinado en gran medida en su casa, Daniel pasa su tiempo libre observando su vecindario desde el porche de su casa. Una joven pasa por allí con tanta frecuencia que verla por la ventana se ha convertido en parte de su rutina diaria. Hasta el día en que está casi seguro de verla secuestrada.

Divertida, llena de suspense y conmovedora, How Lucky es la inolvidable historia de un joven ferozmente resistente que vive con una discapacidad física y sus esfuerzos por resolver un misterio que se desarrolla justo afuera de su puerta.
