“No wood?” she scoffed. “That can't be true.”

Superstitious Ashley has just said something unlucky while studying at her friend's house. “Touch wood!” she cries, and dashes around looking for something made of wood. But there's nothing wooden anywhere in the (very familiar-looking) HDB flat! Can she stop the bad luck in time? Written in fun, rhyming verse and illustrated by Sarah Lim XiYin, with Ashley's Guide to all the superstitions at the back.
