| Shane Berryhill is a writer, illustrator, and all around Imagineer. His first book, CHANCE FORTUNE AND THE OUTLAWS, is an official selection of Renaissance Learning's ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM, the New York Public Library’s BOOKS FOR THE TEEN AGE, and the Texas LONE STAR READING LIST. |
He was not chosen by destiny.
He had no higher calling.
But that would not stop Chance Fortune!
In the first volume of THE ADVENTURES OF CHANCE FORTUNE series, CHANCE FORTUNE AND THE OUTALWS, fourteen-year-old Josh Blevins dreams of becoming a student at the esteemed Burlington Academy for the Superhuman. However, due to his lack of superpowers, his application is rejected. Refusing to accept defeat, Josh, through some dubious connections and little white lies, gains entrance into Burlington. Since he does not actually have any superpowers, Josh does this under the falsified persona of Chance Fortune, his “superpower” being luck.
At Burlington Academy Josh meets a kaleidoscope of extraordinary characters – some friends, some enemies – and ultimately finds himself caught up in a struggle for the fate of the universe.
The adventure continues with volume two, CHANCE FORTUNE IN THE SHADOW ZONE. Chance and his teammates, the Outlaws, are inexplicably teleported into the Shadow Zone, a dimensional prison for super-villains. They soon discover an even greater evil resides there, threatening to spread across all of space and time. To save the universe and escape, the Outlaws must embark upon an agonizing journey of body and soul. It is a quest not all of them will survive!

Before he was the hero Chance Fortune, he was Josh Blevins, a normal boy from Tennessee. This original story takes place between chapters two and three of my novel, Chance Fortune and The Outlaws. Josh exists on an earth filled with sentient robots, intergalactic aliens, and super-powered heroes. |
*Not appropriate for very young audiences |

I once did a brief stint as an adult newspaper carrier. The last house on my route was a dark, decrepit piece of work, and had earned the nickname spooky house among my coworkers. Being the imaginative guy that I am, I began to wonder: What if there actually was something evil and netherworldly residing there? |

Shane Berryhill's wondrous Saturday matinee of a book, zooms and crackles and pops from page one! If George Lucas wrote young adult novels on an overdose of caffeine and comics, it might approach something like CHANCE FORTUNE. I am an instant fan of this series, and can't wait to board the next rocket-fueled Chapter of Chance and Company. Highest recommendation!"
