The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron

2.0

Other than Lucky herself, I felt that the characters were very unidimensional. I was actually disappointed in this as a Newbery book. It had all of the coming of age angst, but other than that, I'm not sue why it was chosen. I found the author's use of one character repeating history to another character just to establish back-story to be annoying. She also drops her higher power metaphor and never shares with the reader how Lucky resolves her concerns except in a lame, forced epilogue.
