But the Luck Uglies have long since been exiled, and there's nobody left who can protect the village.Īs Rye dives into Drowning's maze of secrets, rules, and lies, she begins to question everything she's been told about the village's legend of outlaws and beasts. Before the monsters disappeared, there was only one way to defeat them-the Luck Uglies. Now a terrifying encounter has eleven-year-old Rye convinced that the monstrous, supposedly extinct Bog Noblins have returned. Girls aren't allowed to read anymore, and certain books-books that hold secrets about Drowning's past-have been outlawed altogether. Families are fined for breaking laws that don't even exist. Rye O'Chanter has seen a lot of strange things happen in Village Drowning: children are chased through the streets. The first in a series with the makings of a modern classic, The Luck Uglies is an irresistible cross between Joseph Delaney's The Last Apprentice and Chris Colfer's Land of Stories series, overflowing with adventure, secrets, friendship, and magic.
