Summary
When Leo’s mom announces that there will be a surprise at dinner, she unknowingly sets in motion a riotous chain of events. What could the surprise be?! Leo and his brother are desperate to find out. Could it be a… bike? A pool? A new car? Their imaginations run wild until they decide it must be an all-expenses-paid, two-week trip to Hawaii! Not surprisingly, the brothers are soon proven wrong. But the ingenious way their family decides to cheer them up poignantly reminds us that, sometimes, embracing what you already have is enough to make you feel “lucky.” Grades K-3. 2014.
