There is a lot of talk about scrotum in this story. Strange and somewhat funny. I do like that Brigitte is French. What can I say? I love the French.
This story did not draw me in. It really didn't land much for me. There were some character moments that were good, but I didn't feel the story had much direction or a whole lot to say. I did appreciate Lucky searching for her higher power. That was interesting.
Otherwise, I don't have a whole lot to say on the book. It did win the Newberry and I would not have chosen this book for the Medal - that's just me. It's an ok story, but not a great story.

Am I hallucinating or did you really mean to type scrotum ?

I guess it was the thing that stood out to me about the book and I lead with that. Weird choice on my part, I know. But weird there's so much in the book.
I was about 2 chapters in when I said to myself, "There is NO WAY" this was the best book of 2007.

I was surprised to see that this is a Newberry winner
