Illustrated by
Erin McGuire.
Just as things are going smoothly for Lucky and Brigitte (The Higher Power of Lucky, Lucky Breaks), trouble arrives in the form of restaurant inspector Stu Burping. Meanwhile, Lucky must draw up a family tree--no mean feat for her--which leads to gratifying, if bittersweet, closure. McGuire's black-and-white spot illustrations beautifully capture moments between characters as Lucky's important relationships are shifting.
