"Lucky Roby 42" is the title of Stephen Wunderli's book. This fiction takes place today.

On the way with his parents in a caravan, Mickey goes to the town of Roby in Texas which was previously the scene of a spectacular event: 42 inhabitants bought a lottery ticket and won! They then shared their joys...and their misfortunes!

Presumably thinking it will bring him good luck, the kid who wore the University of Oklahoma T-shirt, and himself the son of a professional wrestler, walks into the coach's office on the first day of school and asks to join the team despite the season already started. He will have to prove himself in order to be integrated.

He wins several wrestling matches in order to obtain a state college scholarship.

The Director of his school invites him to collaborate with another student, Deon, who has a genetically fragile health and a failing heart.
Mickey and Deon will get to know each other, not without difficulty, and work together to invent an industrial engineering prototype, which they call Lucky Roby 42.
A contest which decides between the best robot, is awarded to them

My major criticism of this book is that it is all dialogue. Which I found difficult to read.
No emotions are shared.
A story quickly forgotten, in my opinion.
A student's writing came out of a drawer.
It lacks a real story, namely what did the hero of the book do before? Why did they live in a caravan? Why was wrestling their choice for him and his father?

Hence my disappointment.
