Will this lucky penny save him in time of trouble? Read the sensational story Lucky Penny. Lucky Penny is the second of the book series The Lucky Series. The principal theme of the Lucky Series books is to convey to the young reader that dreams and hopes do not come true from being lucky, superstitious, or handed over on silver platter, but rather through honesty, patience, perseverance, endurance, working smart, family ties and finally hard work. Each book of the series deals with one aspect of life where luck is presented as the notion for success and later proves it otherwise. The characters and events for each book in the series are taken from present time.
