A review by linneamo
The Thing about Luck by Cynthia Kadohata

2.0

genre: realistic

summary: a japanese-american girl spends the summer harvesting in mid-american with her grandparents and her brother (who is somewhere on the autism spectrum)

notes:

for kids who like: realistic fiction

age group: age 9+

my review: overrated! i agree it's humorous and there is great characterization the book can get rather tedious and i think it will leave a lot of readers bored. i could see this as a book for strong, girl readers...who like sarah, plain and tall / higher power of lucky etc.
