Lucky Me (mix)

Meghan McGlinchey is very superstitious--so superstitious that when she receives a chain letter, she has to respond. It can't hurt to forward it on by email, right? Wrong! Apparently, forwarding a paper-based chain letter by email brings bad luck. That bad luck follows Meghan all the way to Ireland. This book is so authentic, you'll feel like you're hanging out in Ireland with Meghan. If you have a tween girl in your life, get her this book. She'll love it!

Meghan McGlinchey is set to clutch her eighth grade election when a chain letter shows up in the mail from Ireland and sets off a spree of bad luck. Luckily, her family is all set to go to Ireland and meet her father's long lost sister, but in the mean time there's a lot of mishaps coming her way! What I loved about this book It's part of Cindy Callahan's international middle grade series. We loved Lost in London and this one, set in Ireland is just as fun The main character shares a first name with one of my daughters. She was all over it when this book came in the mail! The setting- castles, people who look like leprechauns, sheep in the street and a bit of magic. It explores looking at life as a glass half empty or a glass half full. There's a discussion about superstition. Lucky Me is an age appropriate, fun, easy read. The covers are colorful and will make a great gift set for your tween. It gives a brief but realistic snapshot of some of the Emerald Isle's sites. What I wish I wanted to know more about Finn, the side characters and Meghan's parents. The story line is very focused on one girl and one boy. Was hoping for a few more laugh out loud moments. Overall A winner. We will definitely be buying all of Cindy's books! Content: sneaking out, one kiss, some snarkiness between school girls

What a fun book! My nieces loved "Just Add Magic" and "Lost in London", and were thrilled to read Ms. Callaghan's latest. Neither one could put it down, and said that it was just as good, if not better, than the other two. They are 8 and 10, and the perfect ages for this book. And now that they're through, I get to read it....

I am a huge fan of Cindy Callaghan and love her books. Great, clean, fun, educational and engaging books for young girls with fun topics for this crowd. Perfect for reluctant readers too who maybe think they don't like to read - Cindy's books will change their mind! Moms, get your daughters, nieces, friend's daughters, all the girls you know these books. GREAT!

Another great book from C. Callaghan. It's light and exciting enough to suck in readers and non-readers alike. There's a curse, an exotic locale, a cute boy, and sisterly conflict. The main character, Meghan, is wryly amusing and fun to root for. As usual I bought it for my favorite 12-year-old, and as usual I read it first and it brightened my day.

Lucky Me!!! After reading and loving "Just Add Magic" and "Lost in London”, I could not wait to read "Lucky Me” by one of my favorite authors Cindy Callaghan. I read it in three days because I could not wait to see how things turned out for Meghan and Finn. A really fun summer reading book.

4.5 stars Did I enjoy this book: I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun read that took about a day. I didn’t want to put it down. Yes, it’s a middle grade/youth book, but it was really cute. I loved it. Lucky Me has adventure, superstitions, family, a crush. Meghan is a character that you will relate to no matter how old you are! I felt bad for her string of bad luck, but there was some good luck mixed in as well. Would I recommend it: Absolutely! I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to read it.

My daughter absolutely loved this perky little book! She totally wants to chain mail all her friends now and is obsessed with snail mail!! very clever idea to base a girls tween book off of!!!! And oh yeah don't read the last page first...... It's bad LUCK!!!
