So, I went a little out of order but, I just finished this book. This was a fairly quick read. It's a collection of monologues written in medieval era language. It is written for students to perform or recite. I loved the flow and rhythm of the words in these stories. They remind me of Shakespeare. Fantastic for a unit on Medieval times. These humorous stories connect to each other because each is about the life of a child during this time.
Unique and charming book! Loved it!

The Higher Power of Lucky
Lucky is a spunky, courageous girl who is looking for her Higher Power. She lives in a tiny town in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
I love that Lucky is always carrying a kit for making her scientific discoveries. This book has characters that are not typical which is fantastic for discussions in the classroom. This book would coincide well with any science unit, especially to help girls feel more comfortable with science. This book is also sensitive to students who have lost a parent, have divorced parents, or blended families.
