Life in small-town Paradise Beach is all about luck. Nate's best friend and the smartest girl in the county, Gen, says there's no such thing; she believes in science and probability. But when Nate gets struck by lightning, his life begins to change. Serious matters of friendship and magic receive a little more telling than showing, but the themes go down smoothly.
