The Thing about Luck by Cynthia Kadohata

4.0

This was a very quiet book, and somewhat bleak, but it captured age 12 perfectly. A constant unease and uncertainty about what to do, how to act, and why other people act the way they do. The family love comes through strongly, and even the frequent explanations of combine harvesting don't get overwhelming or halt the pace of the book.
