- content: This sequel to the Newbery Award-winning HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY (and the second of a trilogy) is utterly delightful. The endearingly eccentric residents of Hard Pan (population 43) join to celebrate Lucky's eleventh birthday. Narrator Cassandra Campbell puts life and charm into Lucky's mom, Brigitte, a French woman who wants to become entirely American. Campbell also perfectly renders all of the emotions and drama of three very opposite kids. Not only does Lucky grow up, but EVERYONE changes and matures in this standout title, which is both old-fashioned and modern. The final treat is an author interview, in which Patron admits that the librarian in her always alludes to other books in her own works. S.G.B.

January 19, 2009
Riding the same wave of warmth and quirkiness that distinguished Patron's Newbery-winning The Higher Power of Lucky
, this sequel continues the musings of Lucky Tipton as she looks for adventure and a best girl friend. Settled in a routine with her “adopted” French mother, Brigitte, almost-11-year-old Lucky has become bored with her tiny desert town of Hard Pan, Calif., but when a group of geologists which includes a girl Lucky's age visits Brigitte's café, things start to look up. Lucky instantly bonds with Paloma, her new “Pal,” not worrying about the effects on her buddies: Lincoln, the knot-tying wiz, and Miles, the five-year-old genius. A mild drama involving an abandoned well plus a mysterious package delivered to the town hippie play a role in helping Lucky make room in her heart for all her true friends and begin to understand her absentee father. Lucky's occasional bratty behavior can be maddening, but her recognition of her mistakes and her efforts to rectify them are endearing. Although Patron breaks no new ground, she skillfully balances sentimentality and humor, allowing her characters to shine once more in their own idiosyncratic ways. B&w illus. not seen by PW
. Ages 8–12.
