These Unlucky Stars
Note from Gillian:
Have you ever wondered if luck plays a role in your life?
Meet Annie-she's convinced she's the unluckiest person in the whole universe. I wrote this book to explore the way an unexpected friendship can change someone's point of view.
—Gillian
A Great Fit for:
-
Readers who like small-town stories with dogs and intergenerational friendship
-
Readers who sometimes feel a bit "stuck" in how they see the world
-
Readers who love art and creativity
-
Parent/kid discussion: What makes someone feel lucky or unlucky? Why does Annie choose to help Gloria? Can first impressions always be trusted?
