Thom's Thoughts on Lucky

I didn't like it.

I thought that the author did a good job of getting us in the mind of Lucky and creating character's that we liked and to whom we could relate.

I liked the description of Lucky's hair and how she placed it so no bugs would get in her ears.

But . . .

A lot of build up for a lot of nothing. I finished it while I was on the train to the Bon Jovi concert with Stephanie. Things kept happening, and happening, and I was thinking that there weren't enough pages to resolve the story. I expressed this to Stephanie and she told me to just keep reading.

And then it was done.

I like how it ended . . . I just didn't like the ending.

Does this make sense? I need to read the Newbery finalists to see why this one was the best of 07.
