Luck of the Draw

LUCK OF THE DRAW is the story of Lucky, one of the slowest racehorses the world has ever known. Even though Lucky gives racing his all, he never manages to win a race, and soon finds himself working as a jumper and dressage horse. No matter how hard he tries, Lucky seems to fail at all disciplines. Despite his lack of success, Lucky remains upbeat and hopeful. He is determined to find his life’s purpose, and eventually learns that succeeding in life doesn’t always involve winning trophies and ribbons. Diana Tuorto has been writing fiction and poetry since the age of ten. Luck of the Draw is her third novel, which she began writing at age 17. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English Writing and History, Ms. Tuorto remains a dedicated writer and resides in New Jersey. She has other creative interests in Marketing and Web Design, and is an active volunteer with various local and worldwide non-profit organizations.

5Last place Lucky  Nov 25, 2008
Reviewed by Brianne Plach (age 11) for Reader Views (11/08)

Have you ever entered a race and come in close to last place? Lucky is not very lucky when it comes to racing. His mother only raced in one race in her career. Surely there is a way he can be useful, but not in racing. Jumping high scares him. He tries to be successful but it does not work out for him. He finally finds what he has been searching for - like a wish come true!

What he finds is more than just a gold trophy and honor. This is a book all horse lovers would really enjoy. Even if your only exposure is the Kentucky Derby or just watching horses when you get a chance. You will find yourself hoping Lucky will be on top of the horse world.

I really love and enjoyed this book because I like horses. I went to Kentucky just on a vacation and remembered some of locations mentioned in this book. "Luck of the Draw" by Diana Tuorto is sure to be in the Winners Circle of Books of 2008!



5Luck of the Draw  Oct 21, 2008
Luck of the Draw by Diana Tuorto is a must read for all horse lovers. Diana tells us the story of Lucky written from his point of view which I loved. The lesson that Lucky learns can be applied to of us. Everyone is good at something, you just have to take your time to find out what it is. I highly recommend this book to everyone no matter what your age.

5Attitude Is Everything  Sep 21, 2008
We cannot all be Michael Phelps. For some of us, no matter how high we dream, no matter how hard we try, our fate is not to win gold medals, trophies, or ribbons. This encouraging story will inspire the young person who will not be a future Michael Phelps that their happiness depends on the way they embrace life, on the positive attitude they give to every circumstance. I fell in love with Luck of the Draw.
