Lucky can always make new friends at church and at school, though they're usually the ones you feel sorry for. Then, just as Lucky gets settled in, he has to say good-bye. Lucky often wishes he'd have less luck. Ron Ladd, Lucky's father, insists that no one is luckier. Lucky bounces back from the worst accidents. He comes out pretty good in bad situations too. So when they come to Pascal, Louisiana, after a tornado has hit the town, he brings his brand of luck with him. Then Lucky decides to play football, even though many players are twice his size. The coach, to everyone's surprise, makes Lucky a running back. The question is not how well he'll do, but whether he'll make it through in one piece.
