Lucky for Good by Susan Patron
If you enjoyed the Newbery winner, The Higher Power of Lucky, and/or its sequel, Lucky Breaks, you will surely find even more to admire in this final book in the trilogy, Lucky for Good.  All the characters we've come to know and love are here again: adopted mom, Brigitte - who is making a go of her cafe until the health inspector, Stu Burping, intervenes; best friend, Lincoln, with whom a bit of budding romance appears - but who has won an all-summer trip to London, England; and dear precocious six-year-old Miles - who is trying to accommodate his advanced scientific knowledge with his just-released-from-prison mom's born-again religion.  Added to the mix is trouble-making junior high skateboarder, Ollie Martin.  When he insults the people of Hard Pan and Brigitte as well, Lucky is sent to the principal's office to receive a punishment for attacking him.  Being told to research and create a family tree seems an insurmountable task since her dad has never had anything to do with her and her birth mother is dead.  Trust author, Susan Patron, to see that all is resolved as Lucky prepares for entrance into junior high with some unexpected help from a friend.  This will be of special interest to middle school students.
