On a small Amish farm in upstate New York, young Lily

learn—if only Lily can stay out of trouble!

My thoughts:
I rarely read juvenile fiction anymore. My children are
grown and my grands are not quite old enough for it. But, when I saw that one
of the author’s is Suzanne Woods Fisher I knew I needed to read it.
Even though this is a children’s book, I think it will
delight the adults that read it with their kids. Mary Ann was raised Old Order
Amish and it lends a certain authenticity to the story. Suzanne’s engaging
writing style is present throughout. The combination of the two writers produces
a story that is absorbing and entertaining.
I enjoyed the antics of sweet Lily Lapp and her friends.
The dialogue of the children was true to what you would expect to hear from an
eight year old. In such a broken world it is nice to read about the life of one
who is loved by her family. I am very much looking forward to reading the rest
of this series as it is written and then sharing it with my grand girls when
they are old enough.
The book is designed for eight to twelve year olds. If
you have a little girl in your life, I recommend getting this book and enjoying
reading it together.
