A magical stone, one impulsive kid, and total chaos. This laugh-out-loud, full-colour graphic novel is perfect for readers who love comics and adventure!

When Lucas uses the magical, wish-granting Gloom Stone on his 13th birthday, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot. Wishes? Granted. Problems? Solved. Life? Perfect.

Except . . . maybe not.

Between a climate crusader best friend, a stuffed animal who won’t zip it, a never-ending wishlist that spirals wildly out of control, and a time travelling great-great-great-great-grandfather with a thirst for revenge, Lucas quickly learns getting everything you want isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Magic, mayhem, and a whole lot of missteps collide in this hilarious and heartfelt graphic novel about growing up, messing up, and figuring it out, one wish at a time.

This epic, full-colour comic adventure makes a great gift for avid and reluctant readers! Originally published in French, the English edition of the book combines both tales in the Atomic Lucas series, and is perfect for fans of Hilo, Dog Man, Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior, and Amulet, including reluctant readers and those who like fantasy with a twist.
