Soontornvat are kicking off the fun with The Luckies #1: Rumor
Has It, which follows two stepsisters who don't get along at all...
From strangers to sisters...
Annie couldn't be more excited. She's moving to an adorable small
town where she'll find the perfect friend group and maybe even her
first boyfriend. Her new house has a pool, and she's getting a
stepsister her age named Leela...
Leela is NOT happy. She's leaving the bright lights of New York City
to live in the middle of nowhere with an annoying stepsister
AND two stepbrothers. Plus, kids at her new school seem gossipy and
toxic. Leela wants out.
When a blended family brings together two very different girls -
each with their own secrets, crushes, and schemes -drama ensues.
Will Annie and Leela find a way to get along, or is their luck about
to run out?
Fast-paced and bingeable, this book features gorgeous illustrations
by artist Madi Wong that bring the characters and setting to life.
