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 Thoughts:
I was really excited
to read another adventure in Lily’s life. I somehow missed book 2 in this
series.
Lily Lapp is at it
again. She is just too curious and seems to find trouble around every corner.
She’s a good girl but she knows how to make life interesting.
I think Suazzne Woods
Fisher and Mary Ann Kissinger have done an amazing job with this series. This is a great series that is wholesome,
entertaining, and will delight parents and children alike for years to come. I
love it when I find a book that I don’t have to worry about for my kids to
read.
The chapters are
short and feel like mini short stories. Which I think is what makes this a
great book for younger kids to keep their attention. I also liked how they have
a, “Frequently Asked Questions About the Amish” at the end of the book. Then
you have an easy recipe at the end of the book.
I hope that this is
not the end of this spunky, adventurous girl.

Publicity Group has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. In no
way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my
own.
