Childrens
full of questions in her brain make running away from Hard
Pan, California (population 43), the rock-bottom only
choice she has.
It's all Brigitte's fault-for wanting to go back to France.
Guardians are supposed to stay put and look after girls in
their care! Instead Lucky is sure that she'll be abandoned
to some orphanage in Los Angeles where her beloved dog, HMS
Beagle, won't be allowed. She'll have to lose her friends
Miles, who lives on cookies, and Lincoln, future U.S.
president (maybe) and member of the International Guild of
Knot Tyers. Just as bad, she'll have to give up
eavesdropping on twelve-step anonymous programs where the
interesting talk is all about Higher Powers. Lucky needs
her own-and quick. But she hadn't planned on a dust storm. Or needing to lug the world's heaviest survival-kit
backpack into the desert.
