Korean American Clara Lee wants to be her town's Little Miss Apple Pie Princess. She hopes the lucky day she's having will help her win. What she learns, related through natural language without any didacticism, is that individuals make their own good fortune. Numerous black-and-white illustrations provide newly independent readers with both plot clues and speedy page turns in this winning chapter book.
