Debbie have you seen Cammie McGoverns JUST MY LUCK
A librarian in Nebraska wrote to ask me if Ive seen Cammie McGoverns Just My Luck. Released on February 23, 2016 from HarperCollins, heres the synopsis:
Critically acclaimed author Cammie McGoverns middle grade debut is a powerful and heartwarming story that will appeal to readers who loved R. J. Palacios Wonder, Ann M. Martins Rain Reign, and Holly Sloans Counting by 7s.
Fourth grade is not going at all how Benny Barrows hoped. He hasnt found a new best friend. Hes still not a great bike rider�even though his brother George, whos autistic, can do tricks. And worst of all, he worries his dads recent accident might be all his fault. Benny tries to take his moms advice and focus on helping others, and to take things one step at a time. But when his dad ends up in the hospital again, Benny doesnt know how he and his family will overcome all the bad luck that life seems to have thrown their way.
Just My Luck is a deeply moving and rewarding novel about a down-on-his-luck boy whose caring heart ultimately helps him find the strength to cope with tragedy and realize how much he truly has to offer his friends and family.
Just My Luck, the librarian wrote, references Indian in the Cupboard. Theres a copy in my local library. Ill pick it up, read it, and be back with a review.
