Charles is in elementary school. His family, the Petersons, have a puppy named Buddy plus they foster dogs and help them find homes.
Charles and his family are headed to at B 'n B at the beach for a vacation. There they meet Lily, a golden retriever puppy, and her family. Lily is a rambunctious puppy and when her family goes home, they leave Lily behind in her crate in their room! The family that runs their B 'n B are too busy to keep the dog so Charles is determined to find her a home since his mom and dad say they can't keep her because they already have a puppy at home.
Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Lily's point of view. It is the 61st in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

Review by my 9 year old:
Lily is a book about a cute, adventurous puppy who needs to find a home. First, Charles finds Lily locked in a room while on vacation at the Brisco Beach Inn. Then, Charles and Lily are trying to find a home for Lily before Charles goes home. Will Lily find a home before Charles leaves?
I like this book because Charles is a nice boy who fosters puppies to find homes for them. I learned that every puppy can be naughty without training. The best family for a puppy is one that can handle a puppy. My favorite part was when Lily finds a home. You will like this story!

This is a cute short chapter book. It is about a family who is going on vacation and they find a puppy in one of the rooms. It is a cute and short read with some good learning experiences and a puppy tip at the end:) I think students would enjoy this book especially if they love dogs.

Lily is a golden retriever who ended up with Milo at the Brisco Beach Inn after her first family left her there!
