    About this audiobook

    “How little you know of your own father. He took something I cherished long ago and hid it away. You will help me find it”

    The legendary Luck Uglies are the most deadly, dangerous band of men Riley O’Chanter has ever met – and her father, Harmless, is their high chief. Having been in exile for ten years the Luck Uglies are back in Village Drowning, but bringing them out of the shadows and back together was never going to be without its perils. There is bad blood between Rye’s father, and a sinister masked man named Slinister Varlet. As Harmless and Slinister vie for control of their men, Rye finds herself caught up in their dangerous game. Throw in a vengeful son, a dark curse, and a collection of thieves and smugglers and the stage is set for another page-turning adventure.

      I seriously love this book so insanely much. Rye is a young girl who lives in the Village Drowning, a ramshackle little sea town where women aren't allowed to read, and the power of the nobility is pretty much absolute. She lives with her mother and her little sister, and their cat, and early on we learn about the pendant charms each wear around their necks. The story follows Rye through a little of daily life in Drowning, edged with just enough mystery to not take away from the village life itself. But soon, weird things happen. Bog Noblins are coming back, and to protect the village and everyone in it, the Luck Uglies must be called. There's also the mysterious Harmless, who's identity is easily guessed, but still adorable. The story is well constructed, with well defined life and culture. It's fun. The little house rules that Rye often repeats turn out to actually mean something, and I enjoyed that. This is a story where looking closer reveals a little more that you thought was originally there - for example, near the end, when everything goes down, Rye never actually sees it. I like this, because instead of most kids books where a 12 year old is responsible for taking down the beast, or stopping the dictator, or completing the prophecy - Rye is more realistic. She doesn't do anything that I feel like a child her age actually could or would have. Very fun, very much looking forward to the next foray into the world of Drowning.

      A very nice fantasy novel, The Luck Uglies is about a young girl learning the secrets of her family and her town as she tries to save them from the Nob Goblins.Riley and her friends Quinn and Folly play on the rooftops in the town of Drowning. They have stolen a banned book called Tam's Tom of Drowning Mouth Fibs, Volume II, wanting to learn the truth about their town. The Earl runs the town and doesn't allow girls to be educated, so Quinn is teaching Rye to read as they learn about the town. On the night of the Black Moon, Riley breaks the house rules and goes to the only side of town that the Earl can't control to see the Black Moon party at the Dead Fish Inn which is owned by Folly's family. Seeing her mother with a strange man and realizing that the doors will be locked for the night, Rye tries to beat her mother home through the dangerous streets as everyone is locked in. When Rye returns home, she finds Quinn hiding in the secret room. Shady, the cat, dashes through the door Riley left open, breaking another house rule that Shady is to never leave the house. Rye chases the cat and sees creatures that indicate the Nob Goblins are returning to Drowning. The Nob Goblins will kill everyone. As the novel progresses, the strange man with Rye's mother takes on a whole new meaning to the family as they and their friends are the only ones who can fight the creatures and hopefully save the town.This is a very enjoyable, fun novel. I liked the characters and the pace of the plot as well as the fantastical elements. It's worth your time to read as a solid middle school book!

      This book was amazing! The Luck Uglies details the events in Village Drowning where it appears that the Bog Noblins, a creature thought to be extinct, has returned to wreak havoc on the lives of the villagers. Rye, the main character of the book, hopes that the secret society, the Luck Uglies will be able to save her village from the impending doom. This book is a solid first installment in a planned series and has plenty of action of adventure to hook even the most reluctant readers. Paul Durham does a great job with world building and drawing the reader in to the Village Drowning. The characters were well written and easy to connect with particularly Rye and Harmless who are loyal and brave. I highly recommend this book to fans of Peter and the Starcatchers and Harry Potter. 4 stars!

      This is the second book in the series, I have read book 1 and really liked it so was eager to start this one.

      I liked Rye, she reminds me a lot of me when I was a child, quite a rebel. The Luck Uglies although being outlaws I did like them, they were only sticking up for themselves and their people really. This book was just as exciting as the first with lots of action and adventure, not so much magical things going on but all the same it was a great read.

      The characters were developed more in this book so we got to know more about them and Rye is a strong and loveable heroine.

      This children’s fantasy has been written very well and I am sure children that read it will love it.

      I have enjoyed this series.

      Another fabulous entry in this series! It's official, The Luck Uglies has become a new favorite series and I have Paul Durham to thank. Do you love action and adventure? Are you a fan of courageous heroines and all manner of mischief? If you are, trust me when I say that this series is for you. This is the type of story that stills my MG loving heart. I love exploring new places, and Durham hasn't disappointed me yet.

      If you've read my review of the last book, you already know that I'm a huge fan of Rye O'Chanter. She's scruffy, mischievous, and full of that fire that I just can't get enough of. Rye is a quick on her feet, and smart as a whip. I think my favorite part about Rye though is how much she loves her family and friends. She's loyal to the end, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect what's important to her. Throw in a whole cast of well built, intriguing characters? You have my utter devotion.

      Where the last installment of this series had me wishing for a bit quicker pace, this one moves at a perfect clip. Action sequences are interspersed with introductions of new characters. Best of all, this time Durham whisks the readers away from Village Drowning and into a whole new part of Rye's world. I was giddy as I traveled along with our motley crew of characters. Witty banter, devilish schemes, I ate it all up and was eager for more.

      Yes friends, I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a new favorite series. Whenever a second book manages to keep me engrossed, I find myself with big expectations for what comes next. I truly can't wait for more of the O'Chanters! They're absolutely brilliant.
