|summary=The Luck Uglies are outlaws so wicked people won't even say their name. But when an even greater danger threatens Rye and all she loves, she has to accept that sometimes it takes a villain to save you from the monsters.

It's hard not to be clumsy when you have to wear the big old boots you father left behind when he disappeared years ago – even if you do stuff them with fresh straw every day. But that doesn't stop eleven-year-old Rye O'Chanter and her two friends from getting up to all manner of mischief, from 'borrowing' a forbidden text from the Angry Poet to sneaking out at night to see the Black Moon festivities.

Brave heroines, weird and wonderful worlds – there are plenty of books out there that fit this description. Two of the best are [[A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge]], and [[Lockwood and Co: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud]]. They're vivid and exciting, and there's the occasional scary moment to make sure you remain firmly on the edge of your seat.
