This story is heartwarming and sweet. Lucky is a girl whose life isn't that simple. I think you will enjoy reading about her adventures.

This book as really good, though it has a predictable ending

My teacher told us that we had to find a book on tape/CD and my teacher told me that this book was a good one and it is an easy read and it is very funny.

This was a nice book, with good people, missed problems, and realization.

i loved this book, its about lucky, a girl who has gone through so much, her mom has died, her dad was divorced with her mom before she was born , and she thinks guardian brigette, seems as if she is going to leave lucky, one night, she finds her passport on her suitcase, and lucky decides to run away...

i do not usually go for these kinds of storys but this one is one if the best !
