What is the author's style in The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron?

The Higher Power of Lucky, by Susan Patron, is told in the third-person perspective. The reader is allied with the thoughts and feelings of Lucky Trimble, the ten-year-old protagonist of the story. The first few chapters quickly inform the reader of the emotional precipice on which Lucky is precariously balanced. Lucky is burdened with adult-size problems and has far more worries on her mind than a child her age should ever have.
