The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron

4.0

I really enjoyed this, although I feel like I'd have to ask kids if they enjoyed it, since I get the feeling that it's possible that it might be one of those kids books that adults like.

This is a simply-written, but rich story about a girl growing up in a tiny trailer park community in the Mojave Desert. I love this much-needed in children's literature positive portrayl of a low SES/rural community with strong ties, despite all the complications.
