The fiction novel Luck Uglies by Paul Durham is about a girl who meets a Luck Ugly, and goes on an adventure to defend the village of Drowning against the Bognoblins, but most importantly, the real villain, the Earl Longchance. The main character is Riley O’Chanter, she is a very adventurous soul, with cleverness and wit inside out. Riley is about 11 years old and has a younger sister named Lottie. Through many mysteries she discovers that her dad is the Head of the Luck Uglies, which explains the glowing blue choker that her family wears, which can warn off monsters. Rye is very caring and compassionate to whomever she meets, especially to her best friend Folly as well as Quinn. The main problem is that the Bognoblins are going to attack the village. The reason is that the Earl has captured one of their kind, and is not going to hand his prisoner over. The only ones who can save Drowning are the Luck Uglies, but they have long been exiled to Beyond the Shale, as criminals never to return. How will Rye and her friends save the village that they love? I think this book is filled with excitement of the Luck Uglies, the friendship of friends, strangers, and family, but most of all, the adventure that twists through every word in this trilling story. I also love the surprise and amazement that caught my breath when the Luck Ugly Rye meets, turns out to be her long-lost father! That twist in the plot changed everything, just like when I realized that the Earl was the true enemy of Drowning, the evil cause behind the old hate of the Luck Uglies. This book is an exhilarating catch to all those who read it, that's my true opinion! -Serena
