Lucy van Loon knows she's a good girl. So why is she always sitting in the Time Out chair? After all, she had a very good reason for dumping Jacinta's unicorn pencils all over the floor. And she only threw a tantrum because her aunt from Holland called her a bad girl and a greedy liar, which was UTTERLY untrue. But what if Lucy is bad? Her grumpy aunt certainly seems to think so. Now Lucy has to figure out how to prove she really is Lucy the Good. But how? In this gently humorous story, Marianne Musgrove takes a look at one child's temper and how she begins to get it under control.

Laurinda is an exclusive school for girls. At its secret core is the Cabinet, a trio of girls who wield power over their classmates - and some of their teachers. Entering this world of wealth and secrets is Lucy Lam, a scholarship girl with sharp eyes and a shaky sense of self. As she watches the Cabinet at work, and is courted by them, Lucy finds herself in a battle for her identity and integrity.

Little Lucy was very lucky, but she didn’t know it. Lucy thought she was going to be really lucky after finding the four-leaf clover. But it didn't seem to work. When she saw the four-leaf clover, at first she was excited. She thought that having good luck meant winning the lottery or being picked to be a famous star. She didn’t know that luck came in all shapes in sizes. If that four-leaf clover didn’t bring her good luck that day, Lucy would have been in so much trouble! If only she knew how lucky she was that day!
