![]() I love reading about the strong female characters Goobie presents. My summary only captures a piece of what’s in The Lottery. Review: What I love about Beth Goobie’s writing is that there is so much packed into it. Turns out they have more in common than she realised. ![]() As Sal is immersed in Shadow and loses her friends, she must decide if she is willing to play by the rules or if she can change things with the love and support of her brother Dusty. Her father killed himself by running his car into a tree when Sal was with him, and her mom is a detached parent who is having trouble connecting with her children through her grief. When Sal’s name comes up, she’s already got her own problems. Whoever is chosen is treated as a pariah at school even by their friends and forced to run errands distributing the Shadow’s orders to the rest of the student body. Summary: Every year at Saskatoon Collegiate, a lottery takes place to choose a victim and servant for Shadow.
