Pierre is perfect; his magic cross gives him good luck but his nearest and dearest suffer bad luck. Give cross to tomboy Jack for next book and she gets magic.

Max Brand was a favorite of my youth. Max Brand trying his hand at a weird sort of Mills and Boone romance. The second half of book reads horribly. I wish I hadn't read this book.
