Summary
Bloomsbury presents These Unlucky Stars by Gillian McDunn, read by Stina Nielsen.
Ever since her mother left a few years ago, Annie has felt like the odd one out in her family. Her dad and brother are practical and organised - they just don’t understand the way she thinks, in lines and colour. Everywhere she turns, she feels like an outsider, even at school, so she’s been reluctant to get close to anyone.
When a 'Ding-Dong-Ditch' attempt goes wrong, Annie finds herself stuck making amends with Gloria, the eccentric elderly lady she disturbed. As she begins to connect with Gloria and her weird little dog, it becomes clear that Gloria won’t be able to live on her own for much longer. But it’s this brief and important friendship that gives Annie the confidence to let people in, and see how rich life can be when you decide to make your own luck and chart your own path to happiness.
In this heartwarming novel, acclaimed author Gillian McDunn shows us that even the most unexpected friendship has the power to change us forever.
