Laura's Thoughts on The Higher Power of Lucky

I agree with Amy. I enjoyed the book, but it was not even close to my favorite. I thought the musings of Lucky's brain were interesting. I believe that those thoughts are all thoughts a young girl in that situation would have. I particularly liked her search for "the higher power." I love how kids misunderstand things like that.

What I did not like was I felt like it ended to abruptly. I felt like her descriptions of her friends were good, but there was no other development. I did not really feel like I understood Lucky or her world.

So, good? Yes. Newbery? Hmm . . .
