Welcome to your NEXT great read! NEXT is an exciting new line of books that feature short, irresistible stories that include both full-color and black-and-white art that's sure to keep you hooked.

Mega-bestselling, award-winning authors Sarah Mlynowski and Christina Soontornvat are kicking off the fun with The Luckies #1: Rumor Has It, which follows two stepsisters who don't get along at all...

From strangers to sisters...

Annie couldn't be more excited. She's moving to an adorable small town where she'll find the perfect friend group and maybe even her first boyfriend. Her new house has a pool, and she's getting a stepsister her age named Leela...

Leela is NOT happy. She's leaving the bright lights of New York City to live in the middle of nowhere with an annoying stepsister AND two stepbrothers. Plus, kids at her new school seem gossipy and toxic. Leela wants out.

When a blended family brings together two very different girls--each with their own secrets, crushes, and schemes--drama ensues. Will Annie and Leela find a way to get along, or is their luck about to run out?

Fast-paced and bingeable, this book features gorgeous illustrations by artist Madi Wong that bring the characters and setting to life. Bestselling and award-winning authors Sarah Mlynowski and Christina Soontornvat set up an irresistible series that will have you eager for Book 2!
