The Luck of Jude

(3) 4-6 Canadian fourth-grader Jude Bhandari doesn't get why Terrence, the new kid from England, has to pick fights with everyone, including Jude's best friend Sanjay and even Jude himself. Jude's first-person narration reveals his frustration toward his own deadbeat dad, love for his mother and Nani, and a common link with Terrence. The straightforward story is accessible and entertaining.
