Here's Lily Book Review

Book Description

Grow with the spirited, sometimes awkward, but always charming Lily as she learns what real beauty is.

In this fun, entertaining story, readers meet awkward sixth grader Lily Robbins who, after receiving a compliment about her looks from a woman in the modeling business, becomes obsessed with her appearance and with becoming a model. As she sets her sights on winning the model search fashion show, she exchanges her rock and feather collection for lip gloss, fashion magazines, and a private “club” with her closest friends. But when the unthinkable happens the night before the fashion show, Lily learns a valuable lesson about real beauty.

This best-selling, Biblically based fiction series for girls—with a fresh new look and updated content—addresses social issues and coming-of-age topics, all with the spunk and humor of Lily Robbins as she fumbles her way through unfamiliar territory. As readers come to love Lily and her stories, they’ll also benefit from the companion nonfiction books that will help them through their own growing pains.

My Thoughts:  Cute story with a message.  Lily is absolutely adorable and the writer details her as your typical tween girl who is coming of age.  Lily, like most girls her age, is uncomfortable with her looks.  Lily is tall, thin and has bright, blazing red hair.  Lily is blessed with parents who remind her to keep God first and it isn't until she faces a near tragedy young Lily is able to understand her true beauty lies within.  


Here's Lily is marketed towards girls ages 7-10 yet I believe it would be best for older readers as some of the concepts may be a bit much for 7-8 year olds.  For example, bullying and middle school cliques are probably best reserved for older readers, perhaps age 9 and up. 


Overall, a wonderful story about a wonderful little girl that would make a great read.
