Amy's bad luck started when she lost her charm bracelet. From then on, unfortunate things just kept on happening. Feeling tired after losing three games of Snakes and Ladders in a row, Amy wondered if you can make luck, or if it happens by accident. Are some people just naturally lucky? How would you recognise good luck if you saw it? And why is bad luck different from good luck? Guided by her friend the talking ladybird, she set off on a journey for the source of luck, visiting all sorts of strange places and encountering all sorts of strange creatures, including Mr Clognor who is forever tossing coins, Miss Starling who is determined to win the great race, and a talking bush who knows more about cake than any bush ought to. But will she find luck, and will she find her lost bracelet?
