false 62151 9 Lucky, age ten, can't wait another day. The meanness gland in her heart and the crevices full of questions in her brain make running away from Hard Pan, California (population 43), the rock-bottom only choice she has. It's all Brigitte's fault -- for wanting to go back to France. Guardians are supposed to stay put and look after girls in their care! Instead Lucky is sure that she'll be abandoned to some orphanage in Los Angeles where her beloved dog, HMS Beagle, won't be allowed. She'll have to lose her friends Miles, who lives on cookies, and Lincoln, future U.S. president (maybe) and member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. Just as bad, she'll have to give up eavesdropping on twelve-step anonymous programs where the interesting talk is all about Higher Powers. Lucky needs her own -- and quick. But she hadn't planned on a dust storm. Or needing to lug the world's heaviest survival-kit backpack into the desert. 60390 7 11 2006 The Higher Power of Lucky total:1853|5:314|4:654|3:603|2:232|1:50| 1853 6509 2411 490 5 9 false false Mon Apr 09 09:43:51 -0700 2007 Sun May 06 11:29:49 -0700 2007 Through the endearing character of Lucky, the intelligent, insightful, resourceful, and resilient ten-year-old girl who became the foster child of her abse...more...]]> 5 4 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Apr 12 21:21:17 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 15 17:21:24 -0700 2007
