Desperately seeking a change of pace from his father's unrelenting nagging, recent college graduate Joel Howard hatches a plan to rob the mall's bank on the night of Black Friday, 1987. The hardest part of robbing a bank is getting away with it, and no one knows how long Joel's lucky streak will last. Lucky Duck is a comedic crime novel perfect if you' re looking for something with the flavor of a John Hughes film from those 80s and 90s tomes like Risky Business or Breakfast Club.
