Sweet and Sour Lily
Lily has a secret plan that's sure to make her popular. So what if it means breaking one pesky little rule?
Someday Lily Hill will be the sweetest person in all of Betsy Ross Primary School. Everyone will like her, especially Daisy and LaVon. The only trouble now is, Lily's still brand-new. All the kids already know each other and no one plays with Lily.
But she has a plan. Just as long as she doesn't get caught. . .
"Lily Hill-Case's pesky little sister-gets her own book!" Sally Warner announces. "Sweet & Sour Lily is a book about reinventing yourself, and who doesn't dream about that from time to time?" she continues, confessing also that she was hungry for Chinese food the entire time she was working on the book. . .
Knopf Books for Young Readers
Illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers
"Six year-old Lily is determined to leave her 'sourness' phase behind and be just the cutest, sweetest kid ever at her new school, but everything goes wrong in this charming 'Lily' sequel by the queen of kid's comedy. Warner gets inside a kid's head to create the most charming, pain-in-the-neck kid since Beverly Cleary's Ramona."
Buffalo News
"A cross between Beverly Cleary's Ramona and Lisa Simpson, Lily will crack readers up with her observations about the school day."
Chicago Tribune
"Lily's humorous first-person narrative will have great appeal for young children."
