Summary

Will Lucky solve lifeâÈçs mysteries before she turns twelve? The adventures that began with the Newbery AwardâÈ'winner The Higher Power of Lucky come to a grand finale.

For eleven-year old Lucky, the universe is full of questions. Is that mysterious woman at the café MilesâÈçs mom? Does her father not talk to her because he hates her? Will the Health Department ruin everything? Is she really going to go to hell? The answers are, in no particular order, nearly, no, yes, and a big fat âÈêwho knows?âÈë But answersâÈ'like every little thing in the whole universeâÈ'are constantly evolving and, sometimes, the biggest questions have no answer at all. The best Lucky can do is never give up on maybe, just maybe, understanding things a little better before she turns twelve.
     The Hard Pan trilogy that began with the Newbery-winning The Higher Power of Lucky concludes with Lucky and all of Hard Pan a little wiserâÈ'and a lot closer to our hearts.
