Grade 4-6–Ten-year-old Lucky is sure that if she finds her Higher Power she will gain special insight into her life, just like the people she eavesdrops on at the Anonymous meetings. Lucky knows about the uncertainty of life because she lost her mother in a sudden accident two years ago and her guardian, Brigitte, is homesick for France. Hard Pan, California, population 43, is a unique and sometimes harsh place, but Lucky loves life at the edge of the desert with people that she knows and loves. The youngster wants to be a scientist and has so many questions in the crevices of her brain. Her motto is to stay alert and to carry a survival kit at all times because things happen when you least expect them. When she thinks that Brigitte plans to leave, Lucky knows she has hit rock bottom and must run away, although things don't turn out the way she plans. Narrator Cassandra Campbell brings Susan Patron's Newbery Award-winning novel (Atheneum, 2006) to life, giving each character a slightly different, expressive voice. Brigitte's soft French accent and Lucky's earnest longing and unique view of life are especially captivating. The novel addresses difficult topics such as death, absent parents, and addiction with realism, humor, and wonder, making the overall message one of hope and love.–Teresa Wittmann, Westgate Elementary School, Edmonds, WA
乐琦是一个十岁的小女孩,住在加利福尼亚州一个叫硬土镇的沙漠小镇里。两年前,她的妈妈在一场暴风雨后触电身亡。爸爸有自己的生活,不愿意照顾乐琦,就把自己的法国前妻布瑞琪请来,成了乐琦的临时监护人。有了这个与众不同的法国妈妈之后,乐琦从生母去世的打击中恢复过来,开始了新的生活。乐琦现在唯1担心的事情是,布瑞琪有朝一日会将她送到孤儿院,独自返回她深爱的法国。
乐琦希望找到阻止布瑞琪抛弃自己的办法。因此,她努力做个“完美小孩”,还常常偷听“十二步疗法无名会”会员的谈话,想从他们的经验中找到属于自己的“神奇力量”。但是,神奇力量还没有出现,她就发现布瑞琪做好了返回法国的准备。乐琦因此跌入了人生的谷底,她决心通过离家出走让布瑞琪意识到自己有多么爱乐琦。于是,在一个沙暴肆虐的下午,乐琦背上沉沉的救生背包,向沙漠深处走去……
