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.

MY THOUGHTS
This is the 3rd book in the Lily Lapp series...and book 3 is every bit as entertaining as book 1 and 2! Lily continues on with her shenanigans and is as lovable as ever. If only she had a sister....
I just love how Lily reacts to situations, her thoughts and actions although at times naughty, make you just want to love her! This book is truly written through the eyes of a child and a perfect bedtime book for children and tweens! It would even be a fun book to read aloud. Each chapter is a different Lily story, the chapters don't really continue on the thoughts from the previous chapter, which makes for great bed-time stories!
As an adult reading the book I found it entertaining and found myself laughing and smiling several times. It is of course not written for adults but there is no reason a child loving adult won't enjoy reading the pages of this book!
Can't wait for book #4!
