"The final story in Lucky's Hard Pan trilogy."

"For eleven-year old Lucky, the universe is full of questions. Is that mysterious woman at the café Miles’s mom? Does her father not talk to her because he hates her? Will the Health Department ruin everything? Is she really going to go to hell? The answers are, in no particular order, nearly, no, yes, and a big fat 'who knows.' But, answers -- like every little thing in the whole universe --are constantly evolving and sometimes, the biggest questions have no answer at all. The best Lucky can do is never give up on maybe, maybe understanding things a little better before she turns twelve. It will take a punch in the face (not her face), a near café disaster, a trip to the principal’s office -- and both male and female sofas -- but in the end, she’ll see that there are loopholes in life and, thankfully, in county health codes!" --From the publisher.

Grades: 4-6. SLJ.
