A Big Year for Lily Book Review, Blog Tour & Giveaway


I want to tell you about a new book, A Big Year for Lily written by Suzanne Woods Fisher and Mary Ann Kinsinger.  It is actually book number 3 in a series of books about Lily Lapp.  I started with this book and it is so sweet.  If you have read some of my previous book reviews I really enjoy reading adult books about the Amish.  This book is no exception only it is geared toward younger readers.  I have no problem letting my children read it or reading it to them!  Lily is extremely relateable and just a delightful little girl.  This book is great at tackling some of the transitions of growing up, especially with relationships.  Kudos to Suzanne Woods Fisher and her collaboration with Mary Ann Kinsinger on this series.  I look forward to reading the rest and including my children in Lily's adventures!

Book Info

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.
