Book review: "The Higher Power of Lucky"

I read the book ""The Higher Power of Lucky" by Susan Patron with illustrations by Matt Phelan, winner of the 2007 Newbery Medal. The book is about a girl named Lucky who is trying to find her higher power which is what Short Sammy calls when he quit drinking and found his higher power. Short Sammy tells stories about his life when he hit rock bottom but then found his higher power. And some of his stories are about when he had drunk a half gallon of rum listening to Johnny Cash all morning in his '62 Cadillac. So now you know about Short Sammy...now you are going to learn about the main character, Lucky. The first thing is that her dad got married and then divorced, and then married again (and had Lucky) and then divorced again. Next, Lucky's Mom died, so the first divorced wife got to keep Lucky. Her name was Brigitte, which is French. So throughout the book you can see Lucky try to find her higher power. Will she find it? You will have the read the book, "The Higher Power of Lucky", to find out.
