There is bad luck, good luck, and making your own luckwhich is exactly what Summer must do to save her family in this winner of the National Book Award by Newbery Medalist Cynthia Kadohata.Summer knows that kouun means good luck in Japanese, and this year her family has none of it. Just when she thinks nothing else can possibly go wrong, an emergency whisks her parents away to Japanright before harvest season. Summer and her little brother are left in the care of their grandparents Obaachan and Jiichan who come out of retirement in order to harvest wheat and help pay the bills.The thing about Obaachan and Jiichan is that they are oldfashioned and demanding, and between helping Obaachan cook for the workers, covering for her when her back pain worsens, and worrying about her lonely little brother, Summer just barely has time to notice the attentions of their bosss cute son. But notice she does, and what begins as a welcome distraction from the hard work soon turns into a mess of its own.Having thoroughly disappointed her grandmother, Summer figures the bad luck must be finishedbut then it gets worse. And when that happens, Summer has to figure out how to change it herself, even if it means further displeasing Obaachan. Because it might be the only way to save her family.Cynthia Kadohatas ode to the breadbasket of America has received six starred reviews and was named on numerous best of lists for 2013.

This book had some really interesting moments, but I felt like it dragged in several parts. The story concept was cool, but some chapters seemed a bit too long for my taste. Still, I'd say it's worth reading if you're into stories about luck and life.

Disappointing experience with the book
I was really excited to read 'The Thing About Luck', but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. The pacing felt off, and I struggled to connect with the characters. I was hoping for more excitement throughout. It just wasn't for me.
