Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (Central)
Three Times Lucky is told from the perspective of Moses "Mo" LoBeau, a kid from the small town of Tupelo Landing, North Carolina. Mo blew into town during a hurricane, which is fitting since she has a personality that could knock down trees.
This personality of Mo's shines through as she reveals her thoughts at every turn. We see exactly what she is thinking and how she feels as events unfold—her lovey dovey feelings for Lavender, her fear when Mr. Jesse turns up murdered, her anger when Miss Lana is captured. By telling the story from Mo's perspective, the book gives readers a front-row seat to all the action and provides them with some funny anecdotes and insights.
