The Lotterys Plus One
The Lotterys Plus One | Emma Donoghue
Internationally bestselling author Emma Donoghue's first children's book follows the domestic adventures of a large, rumbustious, multicultural family. The Lotterys, as they call themselves, are headed up by a lesbian couple and a gay couple who joined forces to create a family, won a lottery jackpot and moved into a Victorian Gothic mansion in Toronto, where their enormous brood is home-schooled. It all seems perfectly normal to nine-year-old Sumac until their hitherto obscure grandfather Grumps comes to stay, upending the Lotterys already chaotic family life.

I liked this chapter book. It was cute and a easy read.I like how it included that the parents were part of the LGBTQ+ community. I like how the children realised they were wrong about their grandpa.

A middle grade book about living in a blended family when a grandparent suffering for dementia is absorbed into the family. Between a pick and a soso as I found that the story dragged on a bit in the middle.

Review: The Lottery's Plus One by Emma Donoghue, 2017, is a realistic fiction chapter book about a blended family and an unexpected visitor who doesn't accept their family at first.
Blurb: This is a great example of the genre because a lot of people have families that look different and they can relate to this book, as well as the message of feeling accepted.

I would consider using this book in my classroom because it can be relatable for children who feel like they need to figure out their place in their family/household, and even for larger families. I'm not sure how useful it could be though.

The Lottery's Plus One written by Emma Donoghue. Chapter 1 p.1-25. Introduces Sumac Lottery, one of 7 kids from a rather large family, and how he fits into his family. The book could be relatable to children who come from a large household, including blended families. The characters are convincing and credible to today's child because the age and language are appropriate to that of a child in the real world.

This realistic fiction books hold many of social issues and problems kids deal with a lot. A big one has to do with a fight for attention in society or their family structure. A lot of times, they don't feel as loved as they wish they were. But as the book shows, the solution is to help show these kids, sometimes you have to get important things dealt with first, but they will never be put on the backburner. Great story that holds meaning!

blurb

The Lotterys Plus One | Emma Donoghue

I think this book is good when helping to try and understand something a kid might be going through. Although it focuses on a grandpa moving in mostly, it also tells morals and meanings between sickness, blended families, adoption, and the fight for attention in a packed family. This would be great for any kid going through a possible road bump in their life!

The Lottery's Plus One by Emma Donoghue is a piece of contemporary realistic fiction. It was published in 2017. This book is about a girl who is growing up in a chaotic household with four parents, lots of siblings and lots of pets. Then her grandfather and has to move in with the family and take over her room. This was very challenging for her. I feel that this is convincing and credible for children because it is a common scenario.

blurb

The Lotterys Plus One | Emma Donoghue

I like how this book is about a not so ordinary family, with both adopted and biological children and many different kinds of pets. This relates to me because my family is very big as well. I also like how the book contains black and white pictures throughout it to give the reader a picture in their head.

I would like to read this book because the main character, Sumac, is the fifth of seven kids and has many animals and this relates to me because I have a large family and a lot of animals too. Throughout this book she has to deal with family relationships, her grandfather moving into her home. She has to give up her room for him to feel welcome; he is very tough to get along with. So, Sumac must help him find a home where he belongs.

The Lotterys Plus One is an interesting story about a multicultural family. Their old and more traditional grandfather comes to live with them and they have to figure out how to live with his views and make him feel at home.

An already huge, multi-race, non-traditional family has to squeeze and make room for one more. A grumpy (also racist and homophobic) grandfather. Growing pains ensue. This book is full of cringe worthy moments. But the vibrant characters and the illustrations really, really, work. Love conquers all and all.

Once upon a time a man from Delhi and a man from Yukon fell in love. So did a woman from Jamaica and a Mohawk woman. The two couples became best friends and had a baby together. When they won the lottery , they gave up their jobs and found a big old house where their family could learn and grow, and grow some more. -The Lottery‘s Plus One by Emma Donoghue

I really liked this middle grade story of an unconventional family. Great narration 👍😊

I thought this middle grade was starting out with too many characters to keep everyone straight - but I ended up loving most of the crazy family. Fun and moving story of a family changed when Grandpa has to move in with them.

Not only do I like to buy books for myself but I also like to buy them for others especially the beautiful kidlets in my life. I also like to buy kids books for myself but these are all gifts. Thankfully the kids all like to read and are able. If you need to buy a kids book I would suggest any of these but especially Imagine as proceeds are going to Amnesty.

So all the criticisms you see on reviews are definitely valid but this was a cute book if nothing spectacular. The twee words they have for everything gets tiresome fast and I kept mixing up the parents but this was a solid... OK kids book. If you're thinking of reading it, a preview should tell you pretty quickly if it'll get in your nerves too much or not.

Finished listening to this today. It was a fun listen, cute. I laughed out loud a ton. I saw some criticisms that is was too diverse, that it was pushing limits with a really quirky, but I thought it was delightful. And refreshing because the narrator, 9 year old Sumac, struggles with social graces in a totally realistic way. And can I just say, little Brian was my favorite character, hands down.

Time to relax with my audiobook. Had an adventurous day: had to go to Big Fancy Mall because I had a bad battery in my iPad (I did stairs at the mall, up and down!) then poked around a couple of stores and went for a late lunch and ice cream. I navigated a crosswalk, and big crowds. Go me. Now I'm tired.

An exuberant children's novel about a boisterous, multicoloured modern family with 4 parents—2 gay, 2 lesbian—and 7 kids. It all gets more chaotic when a grumpy grandfather with dementia joins the household. Homeschooling. Heartwarming. Zany portmanteau alert!
