The Lucky Stone

By Lucille Clifton

Book Overview

There is nothing Tee enjoys more than sitting out on the porch with her great-greatmother, listening to the fascinating stories about the lucky stone. Shiny and black as night, it brought good fortune to each of its owners for over one hundred years. First it helped Mandy, a runaway slave, win her freedom. Then it saved Vashti from death by lightning at a prayer meeting. And it even saved Tee's great-grandmother from the ferocious dancing dog and helped her meet her husband. Now Tee can't help wondering what the old stone has in store for her. She certainly could use some luck on Valentine's Day. But the lucky stone doesn't belong to Tee. How can her wish come true?

Customer Reviews

More Than a Lucky Stone

I absolutely adore this book. I read it to my oldest daughter over 15 years ago and to my youngest daughter recently. It is a great night time read or simply a delightful story to transport one back to safe times of rememberance. The joy of having a Lucky Stone is one thing but Being a Lucky Stone is even cooler. Pick the book, find a stone and claim Yourself Lucky
