The Lucky Ones
Author: Linda Williams Jackson
Format: Paperback
Drawing on her own Mississippi Delta childhood, Linda Williams Jackson tells the story of Ellis Earl Brown, an eleven-year-old in 1967 who dreams of becoming a teacher or a lawyer and giving his large family a real house with food always in the icebox. He throws himself into school, soaking up Mr.
Foster's lessons and borrowing his books, and a gift copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory introduces him to a family even poorer than his own. But when Mama warns he may have to quit school to help support his siblings, Ellis Earl wonders whether happy endings belong only in stories.
