Bad Lucky Goat

“Rita and Cornelius Denton, where the hell have you been?” The two siblings live on Providencia, a dreamy island in the Caribbean, where music and a zest for life naturally seem to hang in the air. Their parents, who run a hotel, have sent the two teenagers out to pick up a guest. While the persistently bickering siblings get lost on an odyssey around the island, their holiday guest is forced to wait. Meanwhile, the siblings have to work together: how to get your parents’ crashed pick-up off the street? How to pay for the repair? And what exactly to do with a runaway goat? Samir Oliveros’s debut follows these unpredictable paths of these two siblings with delightful Creolean sounds and explores the magic and wonders of a Colombian island.
