When a classmate brings in a four-leaf clover for show-and-share, Nancy learns that some people believe objects can bring good luck. Mean girl Grace further enlightens her with tales of the bad luck caused by black cats, spilled salt, cracks in the sidewalk, open umbrellas, and the number thirteen. Afterward, Nancy becomes terrified of accidentally bringing on a wave of terrible luck. But, with help from her teacher Ms. Glass, she learns that luck has more to do with people's choices than with superstition. Fancy Nancy's antics are entertaining, as usual, and the story provides a good introduction to the topics of luck and superstition.
