About the book: Change is brewing for Lily Lapp. Her favorite cousin, Hannah, moves away and Harvey Hershberger, a boy with a talent for trouble, moves right in. Harvey's antics stir up the entire schoolhouse, and his fondness for Lily gets under Aaron Yoder's skin. Add in a mischievous dog rescued by Lily's brother, an old Shawnee Indian and a mother bear, and a secret Lily's mother is keeping, and you've got a recipe for laughter, love, and big surprises.
Girls ages 8 to 12 will love navigating the changes in Lily's world with her in this final book in the sweetly simple Adventures of Lily Lapp series.
Review: Co-authors Mary Ann Kinsinger and Suzanne Woods Fisher bring to
conclusion the series of four books in the life of young Lily. Lily is
Amish and a precocious little girl whose antics get her in trouble as
she grows and learns and who faces life circumstances akin to all young
girls.
Book four, A Surprise for Lily, has Lily’s beloved cousin,
Hannah, moving. Lily is 11 years old now and facing more
responsibilities and changes. As in the other three books in the series,
the Amish life experience pictures a simple life-style with the absence
of many conveniences and comforts the rest of the world knows. But
they are for the most part a happy, content group of people. Folks whose
religious beliefs are the guiding force in all they do.
They are a group of people who come together as a community and help one another through various experiences and sadness.Lily experiences a classmate, Effie, that is still up to mean tricks and who makes life in the classroom and community hard for Lily. And then, too, the boy in the classroom, Aaron, continues to trouble her. But change has to come.
Young girls will enjoy this entire series.
