Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of a mistake or feels overwhelmed by the responsibility of making things right. It is a perfect choice for children who struggle with the fear of getting in trouble and need to see that accountability is a path toward growth, not just a punishment. Lucky Prescott accidentally breaks a family heirloom and must find a creative way to earn the money for a replacement, leading her to start a summer camp with her friends. Through Lucky's diary entries, readers explore the complexities of friendship, the frustration of family dynamics (specifically a mischievous cousin), and the satisfaction of hard work. The historical Western setting provides a sense of adventure while the emotional core remains grounded in realistic social-emotional challenges. It is an excellent bridge for fans of the Spirit Riding Free series to transition into more reflective, character-driven reading that models proactive problem-solving and honesty.
