Ask Lily

Lily #5

by Nancy N. Rue

At last---Lily's in middle school and it doesn't take long for her to get right into the thick of things. She joins the school newspaper staff and becomes the anonymous writer of the 'Answer Girl' advice column. It's all in fun at first---Lily gives witty answers to such questions as 'What do I do about a dog that keeps eating my homework?' Then Lily gets a more serious query and actually gives helpful advice, and it's not long before word gets around that the mysterious 'Answer Girl' can solve ANY problem. Before long Lily thinks she's Dr. Know-it-all---reading every sidewalk psychology and self-help book she can lay hands on, and watching afternoon talk shows. But things quickly go sour when Lily steps outside her boundaries. After her 'expert' advice nearly costs her a close friend, Lily realizes there isn't always a clear-cut answer, particularly in those gray areas. But once again, Lily learns that God is the REAL answer giver.

I really like this book. This is my favorite one of this series so far! But how can so many bad things happen to one person? I mean I never met anyone who's had all of their friends hate them all at one time more than once. Oh well...I still like it.
