But the Mitchell sisters are especially beloved, and not just because they're teenage triplets. Mirabel is the smartest person anyone has ever met, and no one is fooled by her wheelchair or her Voice app into thinking otherwise. Monday is the town's purveyor of books now that the library's closed-tell her the book you think you want, and she'll pull the one you actually do from the microwave or her underwear drawer. Mab's job is hardest of all: get good grades, get into college, get out of Bourne.For a few weeks seventeen years ago, Bourne was national news when its water turned green and was declared unfit for use, but it was too late for its residents. And just when it seems life might go on the same forever, the first moving truck anyone's seen in years pulls up. Then a new student enrolls at Bourne Memorial High. He's smart and handsome and exciting-and the Mitchell family's sworn enemy. And soon, in a town where nothing ever changes, suddenly everything does.

Review

A New York Times Editors' Choice BookAn Indie Next PickA Lariat Reading List PickA Washington State Book Awards Finalist"Winning and amiable....The full and simple pleasures of Frankel's luscious prose lull the reader into rooting for the good people of Bourne and these plucky heroines. After all, doesn't rooting for uncomplicated integrity feel good these days?"--The New York Times"Told through the voices of Mab, Monday and Mirabel it becomes richer, funnier and more poignant...their determination to fight for justice make this one of the summer's freshest novels. One Two Three tells a more complicated story than its title implies, all the while reminding us that big changes can be made through small steps."--Washington Post "A heartbreaking yet heartwarming novel of a town destroyed by chemical pollution and its fight for justice, led by an unforgettable family of heroines...All the way to a fast-paced and heroic climax, readers will be rooting for them."--Shelf Awareness, Starred Review A warm, funny tour de force...One Two Three is a very different story indeed--one that is delightfully memorable and wildly empowering.--BookPage "I'm not sure how any other audiobook will ever measure up as the perfectly cast narrators for each sister made this story such an incredible experience. I laughed and I cried and months later I'm still blown away."--NetGalley "Hilarious one moment, tear-jerking the next, this heartfelt book is a perfect listen for anyone passing through small towns with a unique story."--Buzzfeed "In Frankel's tender-hearted latest...sharp plotting--with several surprising reversals--and memorable characters reflect a deep imagination that adds texture and complexity.... Readers will be captivated by this story of adversity and resilience."--Publishers Weekly "Frankel has given us another socially conscious 21st-century fable in a voice that is part pastor, part political speechwriter, and part Fannie Flagg. Clever, charming, and always on message."--Kirkus Reviews "One Two Three is a compelling story about environmental injustice and the people caring for each other in a small community. Reading Laurie Frankel's books change how we look at each other and the world."--BookTrib "One Two Three is a summer read that is breezy and racks up surprising velocity, but it also leaves you with a sense of having discovered a way of looking at the natural world that you haven't seen before."--BookReporter "Laurie Frankel has a magical ability to write books that not only make you think, but make you feel things deep in your gut."--Glitter Guide "I loved One Two Three from start to finish. What you always get with a Laurie Frankel novel is an engrossing plot--she's a terrific storyteller--but for me the best part of any of her novels are the three-dimensional characters she's created, characters for whom she has empathy and palpable affection, characters who seem to leap off the page and into the heart of the reader."--Nancy Pearl, author of the Book Lust series and George & Lizzie "One Two Three is a powerful and nuanced novel about hope, human frailty, and love. Laurie Frankel takes a clear-eyed look at the mess we make of the world when we privilege profits over people and, brilliantly, without flinching from the truth, allows no hint of contempt, disgust, or hatred to enter the conversation. Three sisters, Mab, Monday, and Mirabel, understand that you can't fight old problems with traditional tools. Their gifts and differences and love for each other help them to understand that their mother--our mothers--can't make the change the world needs. It's up to the daughters to act, to move us forward, to tell a different story. It is the daughters who will save us. One Two Three is the blueprint for a true revolution."--Nicola Griffith, author of Spear, Hild, and So Lucky "In One Two Three, Laurie Frankel's signature wit, warmth, and fierce compassion shine with the story of three courageous, memorable triplets. I loved this book from the first line to the last."--Marilyn Dahl, editor Shelf Awareness
