Lucky T by Kate Brian
5.0
I had to give this book 5 stars for the simple reason that, aged twelve I read this in a few hours and fell in love with Carrie and wanted to be just like her; the way she turned out at the end. It has become a comfort book due to it's heart-warming story and for me, the element of another country and an adventure that, for once, seemed real to a twelve-year old realising that she would never go to Hogwarts.
Underneath what at the beginning of the book seems to be a purely materialistic story are those lessons that have to be learned, and learned properly. That the world does not revolve around you, and that other people, and happiness, really does matter more than your favourite tshirt. I already had a pretty good grasp of these, however reading about the emotional growth of Carrie and the realisation that all she needs is right under her nose never fails to cheer me up and give me a little perspective.
