Book Description

Tanner is a hot mess. In the words of his sixth-grade teacher: “You destroy everything you touch and you’re terrible at everything you do.” Call it clumsiness. Call it bad luck. Call it a curse. Whatever you want to call it, Tanner has it. He’s never been able to hold down a job for more than a week before something terrible happens. He’s always accidentally getting people hurt, costing companies thousands of dollars in lawsuits and insurance claims. On more than one occasion, he’s accidentally lit his place of work on fire. He’s on the brink of giving up, but figures he’ll give working one last go, at a department store. What could go wrong in a department store? Well, one week into his new gig, something goes very wrong. Actually, lots goes wrong, but it’s an accident involving a children’s toy that leaves Tanner burned and without clothes in the staff bathroom. Now, Tanner has to sneak away before his boss finds him bearing it all in the staff bathroom. So he puts on the only thing within reach: a dress, and the wig from a nearby mannequin. The disguise is just supposed to get him home so he can grab a new work outfit, but his short time dressed as a woman is curious to say the least. While dressed like a girl, nothing bad happens to Tanner. People are nice to him. He gets a free bus ride, a free dinner, and someone even hands him some cash as an act of kindness. It’s a streak of good luck that Tanner isn’t used to… but it’s something he could get used to.
