The book I have chosen to read is called Lucky T by Kate Brian. The story is about Carrie Fitzgerald, who believes that her only source of good luck is from her favorite T shirt that her father gave her. Through an unfortunate string of events Carrie’s lucky T is accidently donated to the Help India movement by her mother. That is when her luck starts to unravel. Not being able to live with extremely bad luck, she travels to India in search of her lucky T, but what she ends up finding in the end is much more important. This book is not only a physical journey, but a mental one as well.
I chose this book because of the diverse settings and culture within the book, and how easy it is to relate to a girl my age since it is written about a girl the same age as me. My favorite passage so far is found on page 273 when she reaches her mental turning point. “Carrie had been blessed with a lot of luck that summer, both good and bad, and the result of it all was- she was happy.” She finally realizes that good luck isn’t everything, and being over lucky might lead you down the easiest path, but maybe not the most rewarding one.
