Murphy’s Law for Kids

Funny stories for children ages 8–12

Maya Brooks, Theo Park and Ben Ortiz are ten-year-old friends whose plans do not always work out. A bridge can collapse, a birthday can turn rainy and a joke can go too far. Their stories begin with everyday setbacks and follow the choices they make next.

Murphy’s Law for Kids by Salvatore Pisano uses humor and illustrated fiction to explore frustration, friendship and asking for help. The friends do not need to agree on everything or feel cheerful immediately to find a useful next step.
