Here’s Lily, by Nancy Rue, is the first book in her
“The Lily Series”. We have all had times in our lives where we
haven’t felt like we were smart enough, talented enough, or maybe even pretty
enough.
Lily Robbins, the star of this wonderful pre-teen novel, is
a typical sixth grade girl trying to discover her self-worth. She has a few
dear friends, a family who is not the most supportive and who tend to bring her
down, and a few bullies in her class who want nothing but to have Lily feel as
though she is no better than the dirt on the bottom of their shoes.

When a modeling agency visits Lily’s school, Lily is invited

in her life have told her.

I really enjoyed reading this book as an adult and I know
that young girls would love it as well.
It is a face paced, quick read, with a wonderful message in the end.

How fun that you are participating in book reviews. I've never read the book, but I love what you said about it, and I think I would read it just because I think the little girl on the cover is super cute.
