Review:
There are countless Amish fiction books for adults in the bookstores. It is nice to see a new series aimed for middle graders. I read the first book in The Adventures of Lily Lapp series last year, but I missed out on the second book. Litfuse Publicity Group and Revell nicely sent me a free copy of the third book, A Big Year for Lily, in exchange for my honest review.
Lily Lapp is an imaginative nine-year-old Amish girl, who, along with her cousin, has adventures around her Amish community. Life isn't exactly easy for Lilly as she has to deal with some school bullying from Effie Kauffman and a particular boy who likes to pick on her. It will take the love of her family and her faith in the Lord to help her make it to her tenth birthday.
A Big Year for Lilly is an adorable book for kids, which provides a main character, Lily, who has moral values, something that is missing from most kids’ books today. Each chapter is more like a stand alone short chapter, which there are forty chapters. The book reminds of me of Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. Overall, I enjoyed reading A Big Year for Lilly and I recommend it to others.
Suzanne Woods Fisher is the bestselling author of the Lancaster County Secrets series and the Stoney Ridge Seasons series, as well as nonfiction books about the Amish, including Amish Peace. She is also the coauthor of a new Amish children's series, The Adventures of Lily Lapp. Her interest in the Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, who was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Suzanne is a Carol Award winner and a Christy Award finalist. She is a columnist for Christian Post and Cooking & Such magazines. She lives in California.
