Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Light comedy. Alexander's family cannot understand why he bemoans his bad luck, but the tables are turned when a birthday wish subjects the rest of the family to a testing day.

Light comedy following the adventures of a family who are subjected to a raft of misfortune.

Alexander Cooper is a 12-year-old boy suffering from a serious bout of bad luck. On top of tripping over in front of his crush and getting bubblegum in his hair, he receives no sympathy from the rest of his family, as their days always pass without a hitch.

On his birthday, Alexander's only wish is that his parents and siblings could understand his problems, and his request results in unbridled chaos.
