The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron

5.0

Lucky is a little girl who is adventurous and curious about the world around her. After her mother died in a horrific accident, her biological father's first wife comes to be her guardian. Lucky is constantly afraid that her guardian will leave her and go back to France. She decided that she will leave before she can be left, and decides to runaway during a serious dust storm.

This is a cute story about a young girl and how she learns to trust and love the people that care about her after her mothers death. All the characters in this book are unique, enjoyable, and well developed. This story was so good I just could not put it down.

This book has also been banned by several school libraries in several states... read about it!

I did notice the word, and thought it was a little out of place, but I entirely forgot about it until I was looking at a list of banned books.
