BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Lucas fell from a ladder. Now he cannot walk and must use a wheelchair. He had to learn new ways of doing things. Now he teaches others. Illustrated with Lucas as a lion, Happy Again is an independent read that shows how someone can adapt to a new life. Includes photographs of Plohl doing some of the things the book talks about. 

Based on the real-life experience of the author, it is the early reader version of Plohl's picture book "Lucas Makes a Comeback". I have also read the picture book - I found Happy together to be a much easier read, as this edition is designed for the beginning reader to be able to access independently.
