{More about A Big Year for Lily}

Book Three in the Adventures of Lily Lapp series. Co-written with Mary Kinsinger.
Lily Lapp’s family has settled into their new home in Pennsylvania, but life still holds big changes and big steps for Lily. Good changes, like once again living close to her beloved cousin and best friend, Hannah. Bad changes, like a mean girl who plays tricks on her. And no change at all where Lily would most want one–Aaron Yoder sits near her in school and relentlessly teases her. Surprises are in store for Lily as she learns, with Mama and Papa’s help, to manage the ups and downs of growing up Amish.
The third of four charming novels that chronicle the gentle way of the Amish through the eyes of a young girl, A Big Year for Lily gives children ages 8-12 a fascinating glimpse into the life of the Amish–and lots of fun and laughter along the way. It combines Mary Ann Kinsinger’s real-life stories of growing up Amish and the bestselling writing of Amish fiction and nonfiction author Suzanne Woods Fisher. With charming line drawings in each book, this series captures the hearts of readers young and old.

My Review:

This was a cool book. It was a perspective that I have not though of before. It is about a young girl in an Amish settlement. This is book three, and I have not read the first 2, however I didn't need to. This book Was great on its own. It focused on 1 year of Lily's life. A year that she really started to realize that life is just not about playing. She turns 10, and her whole life seems to change. The biggest change is that she starts to notice boys. She also gets to wear grown up clothes. Usually I read about adults in Amish books. It was nice to see how they grew up. I also liked this book because it proves that you should be who you are.

I am giving this book a 4/5. I can not wait to read more about Lily. She is going to be a great character to watch grow up!
