About the book:
Lily Lapp is moving with her family to Pennsylvania to join a new Amish
community. In this small town where changes--and newcomers--are greeted with
suspicion, Lily must adjust to a new school, new friends, and Aaron Yoder, an
annoying boy who teases her relentlessly. Still, there are exciting new
developments, including an attic full of adventure and a new baby brother. But
why, Lily wonders, can't God bring her just one sister?
The second novel in the charming Adventures of Lily Lapp series, A New Home 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 the real-life stories of growing up Amish from Mary Ann Kinsinger and the bestselling writing of Amish fiction and nonfiction author Suzanne Woods Fisher. With line illustrations throughout, this series is sure to capture the hearts of readers young and old.

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this Amish middle grade book. It is the second book in the Adventures of Lily Lapp series. It can be read alone but both books are good. Depending on how well the children of the age group targeted read they might need help. It is a lengthy chapter book although easy to read and comprehend. The plot is interesting and covers many different aspects of an Amish child's life. I look forward to reading more about Lily and her adventures.
