Sobre este artículo
First Edition First Printing (2006). Fine in a fine dust jacket, presents as new. Winner of the 2007 Newbery Award (award seal not present). Fine in publisher's original red cloth backed boards. Fine pictorial dust jacket. Internally fine. The moving story of a little girl living in the California desert who is searching for her "higher power" after overhearing the phrase at an AA meeting. At the time, the book caused some controversy among parents and librarians for using the word "scrotum" on the first page. Octavo. 8.75' x 5.75 inches. 134 pp. + [ii]. A fine copy of this wonderful story.
Sinopsis
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.
