Lily's In London?!

Lily #13

by Nancy N. Rue

WOW! This time Lily's really on the adventure of a lifetime. How many girls like her get the opportunity to experience life in a different culture? For sure, not a whole lot! When Lily's father becomes a visiting fellow at Oxford University in England, the family tags along. As usual, she "dives" right into the thick of things. Lily wants to make the most of her stay in Oxford and wastes no time sinking her teeth into the culture. She quickly develops a British accent, discovers the Church of England, and learns that God lives in the details of everyday life. She winds up developing some unlikely friendships that ultimately teach her lifelong lessons she'll never forget. But in the end, her adventures strengthen her relationship with God as she realizes, more than ever, there are many possibilities for walking her spiritual path in Christ.

I'm reading some examples of Christian fiction for middle readers (ages 9-12). Pleasantly surprised by this one. After a slow beginning, the book goes on to include some complex characters and a realistic look at the emotional changes of early teen years. Plus a beautiful look at a girl's expanding view of God and her relationship with God.
