Synopsis:

“Smart, insightful, poignant—leavening brutal, middle school realities with wry humor.” —Kirkus Reviews

Moving at a good pace, the story’s appealing first person narrative becomes more involving as Glad’s personal problems mount. . .The story’s climax brings relief and newfound clarity. Glad and her sisters are well-defined characters whose very different points of view bring tension and balance to this engaging chapter book.” —Booklist

Lucky Little Things:
"With so many different subplots, a wide variety of readers will find this story relatable. The consistent reminders about the letter keep the story moving forward and create an irresistible page-turner. This story reminds readers that even the worst day of your life may lead to the luckiest little thing." —School Library Journal

"Erlbaum’s first book for young readers is freshly voiced, modern, and accessible . . . Books that speak directly to the experiences of upper middle-schoolers are rare these days, often falling into the gap between middle grade and YA. A refreshingly honest look at the true meaning of luck." —Booklist
