| A 12-year-old
finds a wounded rabbit, right on top of the morning newspaper. She gently
retrieves the rabbit and attempts to nurture it back to health. In the
meantime, her luck begins to change through mysterious coded messages she
finds in her horoscope. She figures out the final score in the Super
Bowl, advance notice of a pop quiz at school, and tomorrow's winning lottery
number all through these secret coded messages. Is her new rabbit,
now named Orwell, magically sending her these messages? Read Orwell’s
Luck to learn how one 12-year-old finds the ability to analyze problems,
to solve her dilemmas, while dealing with all the humor and nuttiness of
growing up. (Jean Bellavance bellavance@erols.com
