Two stepsisters, one new family

Annie arrives in a small town expecting new friends and a fresh start; Leela, newly moved from New York City, would rather leave. Their blended family also includes two stepbrothers, while school gossip, secrets, crushes, and schemes add complications to the girls’ uneasy introduction. The opening title in The Luckies series centers on the adjustment of becoming stepsisters when both girls have sharply different hopes for their new lives. It is presented as a short illustrated story, with full-color and black-and-white art, and ends its setup with the question of whether Annie and Leela can find a way to get along.

Leela is NOT happy. She's leaving the bright lights of New York City to live in the middle of nowhere with an annoying stepsister AND two stepbrothers. Plus, kids at her new school seem gossipy and toxic. Leela wants out.
