    Our darling, little Lily is back, but no longer in New York. Her family has moved to Pennsylvania.

    Everything is different, and Lily's not sure very much of it is better. Each chapter is a delightful little story about Lily's adjustments to changes in her life. Changes that include a new baby brother. (Why can't it be a sister?)

    This is a book that any young girl or boy will enjoy. Big people, too.

    This book is awesome! However the one part I didn't like was the cover. It was as welld one as the other one, or maybe I am just a bit more picky. I don't know for sure. But the book itself is a very good one.

    Lily Lapp moves to a new home and with come lots of adventures. But Lily must watch out for the nasty Aaron Yoder and the persnickety Eve Kuffman. But when Aaron goes missing, is Lily the only person who can find him?

    In this book Lily not only moves and has a lot of fun times, she gets a new baby brother, as nice as he is she still really wants a little sister.

    Once Lily's friend Beth, says that if you look in a mirror when the clock strikes midnight, you will see what you will look like in your coffin. And so Lily starts turning her mirror around when she goes to sleep. But one night she forgot and see herself now. So she tells her mother and finds out it was just a superstition.

    I think girls of any age will enjoy this book, it is a page turner for sure. I give it five turning pages.

    I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of review.

    This is the second book in this story of Lily's life, and just as good as the first one! You do not need to read the first to enjoy this one, but don't miss it!

    This story begins with Lily Lapp's move from her home in NY to PA, a new school, and new friends. At first it seems like all children, where NY was better for everything.

    There are some funny and some sad things that happen, every day life, but we are traveling with Lily, a young Amish girl. In this story we are entering second grade, and at the end of the book, we are going to go into fourth grade in the fall.

    The Lapps are now living near their Grandparents Miller, and Lily is able to play dolls and visit often. Her Aunt Suzie has Downs Syndrome, but leads a very normal life among the Amish.

    Be ready for some great children's adventures here, asking to sleep in the barn....feeding a calf, and owning some new goats!

    I love reading these stories to my Grandson's, and at times they are almost rolling on the floor! Enjoy!!

    I received this book through the Revell's Book Blogging Program, and was not required to give a positive review.

    A few months ago, I had the privilege of reading the first installment in the Adventures of Lily Lapp series. (See my review here.) I recommended this series as a great way to introduce young readers to Amish fiction. Book two, A New Home for Lily, reinforces that recommendation.

    Following Lily through her day-to-day life as a young Amish girl makes for a fun read. Knowing that the story is based on real-life memories of a former Amish girl makes the book even more enjoyable. Lily's adventures provide excellent opportunities for readers, young and old alike, to learn more about Amish customs. And those with no connection at all to Amish ways can identify with Lily's challenges in adjusting to the new life she finds when her family moves from their familiar surroundings in New York to a new home in Pennsylvania. There are lots of moments that can bring a smile or a chuckle as Lily finds herself in one kind of fix or another.

    Just like book one, this book can be read in large segments, or each chapter can be enjoyed as a short story.

    Kudos to Suzanne Woods Fisher and Mary Ann Kinsinger for combining their first-hand knowledge of the Amish and excellent writing skills to craft a sweet series of stories.

    Lily has her own website where young readers can have additional fun. Updates are made to the website with the release of each book in the series.

    Available February 2013 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
