" r4 G: t& s9 w7 f- FEditorial ReviewsFrom School Library JournalGr 9 Up—Stevie Hart first meets Max when she finds his dead body in her neighbor's backyard, or at least she thinks it's his dead body. It turns out the blood is corn syrup and the death is bogus, just part of Max's goal of faking his own death 23 different ways. Homeschooled, Stevie doesn't have a lot of friends, and she isn't sure she wants to add this strange new neighbor to her small list. Her best friend Sanger disagrees; she has her own reasons for wanting to add Max to their friendship and help him with his checklist. Eventually, Sanger and Max manage to convince Stevie that the plan is worth pursuing, and Max charms his way into her heart. Ormsbee gives readers a sweet, believable romance without weakening the bond between the best girlfriends. Against the backdrop of their fake death checklist, which takes them all over Austin, the three teens explore friendship, romance, activism, and their own mortality. Sharing fears stemming from near-death experiences, Stevie understands Max's need to face his own anxieties around death. However, when her diabetes leads to another brush with death, Stevie begins to question their project. This quirky novel brings humor, relatable characters, and an inside look into the world of homeschoolers. VERDICT A fun, character-driven novel likely to find readers among fans of realistic fiction.—Genevieve Feldman, San Francisco Public Library Review"LUCKY FEW swings between a wholly immersive search for a hand to hold in the midst of fear and loss, and navigating the vulnerable joy of true friendship and first love – a totally unique, beautifully crafted story at once hilarious and heartbreaking, exhilarating as the waters of Barton Springs. This book absolutely sings, without forsaking the honesty of loneliness and self-doubt – and the bravery it takes to become who we truly are." (Jennifer Longo, author of Six Feet Over It and Up to this Pointe) “Stevie Hart puts the cool in homeschool. Whip-smart dialogue, top-notch writing, and truly unique characters make for the perfect reading combination: quick pacing and heartaching. This book is alive in so many ways.” (David Arnold, bestselling author of Mosquitoland) “A beautifully written story of loss and acceptance, of humor and tragedy, of finding yourself by losing yourself.” (Marci Lyn Curtis, author of The One Thing) *"Ormsbee writes with an occasionally tongue-in-cheek tone that manages to be authentically emotional while delivering a realistic picture of a population that rarely gets much scrutiny in fiction for young adults: home-schoolers. The smart, efficient language features dialogue that pops. A sweet story told with intelligence, humor, and just the right amount of kissing." (Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW) *"Winsome characters, crackling dialogue, and an effortlessly enjoyable writing style help this one stand out in the crowded contemporary YA marketplace."
