The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron
2.0
Charming but not brilliant. The Newbery Medal used to be among my favorite literature awards, especially when I was going through my want-to-be-a-literary-agent-emphasis-on-children's phase. This novel, however, is not one of its shining recognitions. When set against the works of E.L. Konigsburg and Louis Sachar, this one just doesn't compare.
Cute characters, simplistic storytelling, with a touch of controversy over use of the word "scrotum", Lucky is very much a children's book and not much of an award winner.
