After Alana's father dies, she tries desperately to control her unhappy life with lucky finger snaps. The snaps don't seem to be helping though, because her mother can't pay the rent, and they are evicted from their motel.
Just when everything is at its lowest low point, Alana rubs the Wizard's lamp in a national contest and wins a solid gold charm bracelet.
Suddenly, she has grandparents, a house, new friends, and amazing success in everything she tries. Is it all due to her luck?
Alana's new friend, Jacob, doesn't think so, and the bracelet's mysterious little charms support his opinion. They suggest instead, that she is using her more dependable powers of people, a home, health, hard work, and positive attitude.
This illustrated chapter book encourages middle-grade readers to examine the real value of some personal support systems we may be using to deal with life's difficulties.
Lucky Alana is the fourth novel of the Agent C series. The C stands for the word catalyst, meaning something that causes a drastic change.
Agent C is a little man who makes cameo appearances in the books of this series. In Lucky Alana, he takes the role of the Wizard at the mall who awards Alana with her charm bracelet.
