Amelia Delaney is furious. She believes she's the unluckiest person in the unluckiest town in history. For years, she’s been second-best to Emelia Katinkatonk—part of the extremely fortunate Katinkatonk family. Amelia has a plan: no more coming second. This year, she’s determined to win at life… even if life has a few surprises in store. Amelia's Grandma Queenie arrives on their doorstep in sleepy Woodspring in search of Woodspring’s greatest lost treasure, The Nug, a crystalline meteorite that crash landed in the town. Queenie helps Amelia and her friends form The Joeys - a con gang to get back the Nug. And why is Amelia happy to do it? Because the Nug brings luck, which she definitely needs this year.
