Lucy Gardiner felt like she was put on earth to dance.
Amid the chaos of her Massachusetts upbringing--her loving, erratic brothers; her overburdened mother--twelve-year-old Lucy is discovered and cast on a new dance reality show. When its popstar judge, Bruise, takes an obsessive interest in Lucy's raw talent, Lucy's life suddenly becomes what she's always wanted--or has it? In the whirlwind of talk shows, movie sets, and extravagant Hollywood parties of her teenage years, Lucy slowly grows more alienated from her family. And when a series of youthful mistakes comes back to haunt her, she finds she must free herself from Bruise's world of fame and all its trappings, and decide where her home truly is.
With lively prose and a rich cast of supporting characters--including a retired parrot actor traumatized by his former career--Lucky Girl is an unparalleled coming-of-age story that explores the sparkling highs and heartbreaking lows of ambition, infamy, and the determination to follow a dream, wherever it might lead.
