Orwell's Luck

Orwell's Luck, written by Richard Jennings, is the charming story of a magic rabbit. When a 12-year-old girl finds an injured rabbit in her front yard, she decides to take it in and name it Orwell. This girl is an avid horoscope reader, and bases each day solely off her horoscope. Yet, as time progresses with the rabbit, the horoscopes begin to change, no longer the broad, general messages, but deeper and more personal. Could it be Orwell? While all the pieces fit, there is still the mysterious question: how can a rabbit do it? The girl begins to look forward to each new message, until her father cancels the newspaper subscription. Upset, the girl believes it's over, until new messages begin popping up in new places. The story follows the life of the 12-year-old as she learns about life, faith, and hope, all from a mysterious rabbit named Orwell. This book is a rustic tale, filled with coziness and warmth. It is a quick read, and a great story, as well as proof that miracles can happen.
