Featured in Teen Vogue "Populated by a unique and diverse
collection of characters that you will immediately fall in love
with, this is a novel that will make you think, make you feel, and
make you cry out, 'glory to the reckoning'." --Lauren Shippen,
author of The Infinite Noise: A Bright Sessions Novel "The
worldbuilding--slang, settings, gory dangers, and all--is rich and
complex in this novel featuring a racially diverse cast. A smart,
thrilling duology closer." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Davis
has a knack for effortlessly tying in character development to the
fast-moving plot. Readers will enjoy meeting and continuing to get
to know the diverse cast[.] This book is hard to put down and
readers will be inspired by its ending...Perfect for fans of
Snowpiercer and Firefly." --School Library Journal Praise for The
Good Luck Girls
An Indie Next Pick
A Silver 2019 Nautilus Book Award Winner
A Kirkus Reviews 2019 Best of the Year Selection "Don't
underestimate the girls in the Arkettan welcome houses because you
might just lose your life. Davis' The Good Luck Girls is a
dust-filled, bloody fairytale set in a menacing world haunted with
the reminder--the price of freedom is high, but it's worth fighting
for at all costs. Rise up, teen readers!" --Dhonielle Clayton, New
York Times bestselling author of The Belles "The Good Luck Girls
plays in familiarity, but never feels familiar. I loved how
frequently I was shocked, surprised, and delighted by this book,
its incredible (and mega queer!) cast of characters, and the
effortless way Davis unfolds a sprawling and at times frightening
story. An ambitious, thoughtful debut that'll leave you wanting
more." --Mark Oshiro, author of Anger is a Gift "This one is a
winner." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A book about the bonds
of sisterhood and found family, and about fear and loss and the
courage to forge your own destiny despite the odds!" --Rin Chupeco,
author of The Bone Witch "A Western for the modern age, Good Luck
Girls has rich, complicated characters, with flaws that make them
lovable and real, who are fighting for something we all believe in.
I, for one, can't wait to see what's in store next for Aster and
her sisters by choice." --Lauren Shippen, author of The Infinite
Noise "Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows and
Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. ...Teen readers will devour
this romp set in a fantastical Wild West-style world, filled with a
diverse cast of strong female leads." --School Library Journal
"This dystopian debut is deeply connected to today's social issues,
and readers will feel that impact." --Booklist "Davis creates
institutions, systems, and power dynamics with real-world echoes,
making the themes timely and resonant " --Publishers Weekly "The
gunslinging, hard-riding action of a classic Western is balanced
against heavy but effective commentary on class and gender to make
a story that is by turns heart pounding and thought-provoking."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
