Meet Clara Lee.
Dislikes: her little sister (when she’s being annoying, which is almost always), her mom’s yucky fish soup, and bad dreams (even though Grandpa says they mean good luck).
Clara Lee’s luck keeps changing. Will she have good luck again in time to win the Little Miss Apple Pie pageant?
