Lucky Stars

Lucky Stars is a delightful graphic novel that follows the interconnected stories of several students in Mr. Wolf's elementary school class. The central theme revolves around a 'writer's workshop' where students are encouraged to write personal narratives. Sampson, who initially believes his life lacks exciting stories, experiences a bike accident that helps him appreciate the everyday moments and find gratitude. Other storylines include Penny's unique friendship with school rats and Stewart and Oliver's journey to resolve their differences. This book gently explores themes of self-confidence, friendship, imagination, and resilience, making it a wonderful read for children navigating their own school experiences and personal growth.

Every day in Mr. Wolf's class is an adventure... even when you have to stay home from school! Mr. Wolf's students are having a "writer's workshop" and are learning about personal narratives. Sampson doesn't think anything worth writing has ever happened to him. He'd rather think about space pirates and zombies, anyway. But when Sampson and Margot go for a bike ride one morning, he has an accident that gives him a new perspective, and he thanks his lucky stars that he's going to be okay. Meanwhile, Penny gives the rats at school treats so that they'll leave surprise gifts for her, and Stewart and Oliver try to learn how to get along at recess.
