The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron

4.0

Liked this simple, yet complex story of a girl without a mother set in the desert. It didn't connect with me deeply, but I loved the artistic treatment of her inner life and how she stuggled to piece the world together to make sense of how her missing mother had become an ongoing part of her young adult struggle for identity. I'd say this would work well for the very emotionally literate boy of 12/13, but maybe I'm just talking to myself here...
