Emma is grieving the recent death of Aunt Jenny (her mom's best friend). When Emma receives a mysterious letter instructing her to wish for ten "lucky little things" and see which come true within thirty days, she confronts the interpretation, nature, and vagaries of luck and of life itself. Emma's NYC-private-school milieu is realistically evoked, and her eighth-grade angst is universal.
