Can luck be ascribed to an item, even it if was very lucky a generation before? Can something as small as an earring change a life? That's what Mandi Carleton is about to find out in the short but sweet Mandi's Lucky Day by Beth Morrow.

How could the emerald earring be considered lucky when Mandi lost one of the blasted things? Now she'd never find the love of her life, the way Aunt Lucy had found Uncle Patrick to spend her life with. Mandi is sure that she has shattered the trust that Aunt Lucy had for her in giving her the lucky earrings as well. Now what should she do?

Mandi's Lucky Day is a short read, twelve pages all together, but it is packed with the wonder and joy of Mandi's quest for the wayward earring and lasting love. Her friend Kayla seems to think that both are unworthy pursuits.

It is difficult to say more without giving away the story but suffice it to say, Mandi is a very lucky girl and Ms. Morrow is a very clever author. Check out Mandi's Lucky Day and see if you agree.
