This book is called The Lucky Stone written by Lucille Clifton and it is a historical fiction book.
I like this book because it had a good ending.
This book is about a girl name Tee and her great-grandmother named Miss Picken. Her great-grandmother told Tee a lot of story about the lucky stone that make Tee wanted to have it because it’s a lucky stone that make us lucky.
The reason why Tee wanted the lucky stone is because she is already fourteen and she hadn’t ever got one Valentine and she was worried about having boyfriend and all.
The lucky stone had help a girl name Amanda stay alive in a cave because it was slavery time and then Amanda ran always from her boss and hide in a cave. After a while, a slave man walk by and a stone came flying to his neck. Then another, but this time there was a letter “A” scratched on the stone and that make him know where Amanda is. About the entire slaves know where Amanda is and they gave her some food when they walk past by and that make her stay alive in the cave.
The lucky stone had also save Tee’s great great grandmother from burning because when she was singing, on the stage, the stone fall of her great great grandmother pocket and that made her jump out the stage and on that very moment, the stage catch a fire and the stage collapse into burning pieces.
The lucky stone also help Miss Picken meet with Tee’s Great-grandfather or I should say first love
