Jennings, Richard W.
ORWELL'S LUCK
Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 2000.
IL 3-6, RL 4.5
ISBN 0618036288
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 for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2003)
