The Lucky Wheel

(4) 1-3 Tales from Maple Ridge series. Illustrated by Petra Brown. These cheerful, old-fashioned family stories, seemingly set in the nineteenth-century Midwest, feature eight-year-old farm boy Logan, who loves to fix things and help out. Big worries about money and the family's future combine with smaller everyday worries, but each story ends with a too-tidy resolution. Large print and copious pen-and-ink drawings enhance the new series' appeal. Review covers these Tales from Maple Ridge titles: Logan Pryce Makes a Mess and The Lucky Wheel.
