I like this book because it has a lot of risks and if Sadie makes a wrong move the story could become a disaster. I think the moral of this story is to never give up and keep trying.

Welcome to Fortune Falls, a magical town where superstitions are real. Four-leaf clovers really do bring good fortune, and owning a rabbit's foot is the secret to success.
However, there aren't enough charms in the universe to help Sadie Bleeker. She can't pass a ladder without walking under it, and black cats won't leave her alone.
That's because Sadie is an Unlucky. And things will only get worse as she gets older, which is why Unluckies are sent away at age twelve to protect those around them.
Sadie can't stand the thought of leaving home, so she and her friend, Cooper, devise a plan to reverse her bad luck. But when their scheme accidentally results in a broken mirror, the situation turns dire. Because for Sadie, seven years bad luck isn't an inconvenience-it's practically a death sentence.
Can a girl who's never so much as found a single lucky penny change her fortune? Or will she be forced to celebrate her twelfth birthday by saying farewell to everyone she loves?

I finished this awesome novel last week and I loved this book! I would recommend this book to others because this book shows that you should believe in yourself and always be positive. Fortune Falls is a really awesome novel that all kids should read. The reason why other people should read this book is because it also shows a lot of emotional events that I think people should understand. Another reason why other people should read this book is because the moral of the story is to believe in yourself, and never let anybody stop you or anything. This novel was very awesome to read, and it was outstanding! Enjoy the book!
