Ned receives an invitation to a party in Florida, and to get there from New York, he—lucky him!—manages to find a plane! Unfortunately, the plane crashes, but—lucky him!—it contains a parachute... albeit a leaky one!

On the way to the party, the protagonist of Remy Charlip's book 'Lucky Ones' suffers a series of misfortunes, but Ned is constantly lucky and everything ends well.

Published in 1964, the book became an American children's classic and sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and has finally—lucky him!—been published in Russian for the first time.
