Erstausgabe
Zustand: Fine in fine dust jacket. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. Phelan, Matt (illustrator). First edition. First printing of this Newbery Medal-winning story of childhood set in a tiny Texas town, following 10-year-old Lucky as she seeks a "higher power" after hearing the phrase while listening in to an AA meeting. THE HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY attracted mild controversy when it was published, thanks to the appearance of the word "scrotum" on the first page; this did not deter the ALA, which awarded Susan Patron the Newbery Medal for the work in 2007. 8.75'' x 5.75''. Original red boards. Original unclipped ($16.95) color pictorial dust jacket (no award seal). Illustrated in black and white. 136 pages. Sharp.
