When Aster's sister Clementine accidentally murders a man, the girls risk a dangerous escape and harrowing journey to find freedom, justice, and revenge - in a country that wants them to have none of those things.

Pursued by the land's most vicious and powerful forces - both living and dead - their only hope lies in a bedtime story passed from one girl to another, a story that only the youngest or most desperate would ever believe.

It's going to take more than luck for them all to survive.

Advance Praise

"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
