Description

The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Davis explores the compelling story of five young women: Aster, Violet, Tansy, Mallow, and Clementine.

Sold as children and branded by cursed markings, these girls are trapped in a life they never would have chosen. Their plight takes a dramatic turn when Aster's sister, Clementine, accidentally murders a man. In response, the girls embark on a perilous escape, setting forth on a harrowing journey to find freedom, justice, and revenge in a country determined to deny them all three.

Pursued by the land's most vicious and powerful forces—both living and dead—their only hope lies in a bedtime story passed from one girl to another, a tale believed only by the youngest or most desperate.

It's going to take more than luck for them all to survive.

About the Author

Charlotte Davis is a recent graduate of The New School's Writing for Children MFA program and is currently working as an editorial assistant at Bloomsbury USA Children's Books. She grew up in Kansas City, which was once the Wild West but today is mostly just fro-yo shops. She now lives in a little apartment in Brooklyn.

Charlotte says: 'I didn't want to tell a story about racism, necessarily - there's plenty of that on the news - but a story about a black girl and her sister finding freedom? Young women of all types getting into good trouble? Underdogs coming together to stand up against the rich and powerful? That sounded like exactly what the doctor ordered.'
