Will good fortune find these journeys?
Don’t step on a crack or you’ll break your mother’s back.
Hold your breath when you pass a graveyard. Find a penny pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck.
All this is second nature for the residents of Fortune Falls, a town where superstitions are deadly serious. (Just ask the poor moms walking around in scary back braces.) That’s why the “Lucky” kids are separated from the “Luckless” for their safety. But eleven-year-old Sadie doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life on the fringes, not when her best friend, Cooper, is destined to spend his charmed existence with the other Luckies.
