(4) 4-6 When twelve-year-old Livvie fails to forward a chain letter, bad luck befalls not only her but also her friends and family. A largely unnecessary revenge subplot takes the focus off a thoughtful consideration of whether we make our own luck. Likable characters and a snowy Minnesota setting add to the appeal of this humorous novel.
