Good Kids' sci-fi

I read this book several years ago, when I was a kid. It was one of the first sci-fi books that I truly loved. I don't remember how good the action was, but I remember two neat things that stuck with me. 1) The use of luck as a power. The kid at the center of the action takes an obligatory luck test that shows he's as lucky or more lucky than the current emporer, which may mean he could become emporer himself. So the government wants him, and he goes through several lucky escapades trying to save his skin. 2) There were these cool shields that people wore that doubled as transporters. That is, you wore six panels of "gateway" leading into a star, so anything that got too near you would be transported into a sun. Some grisly deaths came into play, as I remember.Pretty entertaining and recommended read for the blossoming sci-fi fan.

This book is quite nice you should read it. It has no aliens like a normal Sci Fi book would
