The Higher Power of Lucky

Not quite what I expect of a Newbery medalist
I read The Higher Power of Lucky eleven years ago (7-Nov-2011), because it won a Newbery Medal. I read the Newbery Medalist and Honor books every year, and am rarely disappointed. This time I was, however. Not DEEPLY disappointed -- I enjoyed it. However, I expected more, somehow. In the end, it all seemed very ordinary.
