I've read Cecilia Galante's other books, and consider myself a fan, especially of the Patron Saint of Butterflies. She has a note in the beginning of th Lily doesn't want to live in the new city her mom moved them too.

She has a note in the beginning of this book saying that this was the first book she ever wrote, and I can see the signs of a beginning writer. The plot points such as Nate and Lily's friendship and the bullying are both very good, but each one sort of crowds the book, so one inevitably suffers in this case, the bullying storyline has a hasty end.
But the characters are excellent, and Galante does a great job of creating a fifth grader's universe. I would definitely recommend this one, but probably to a more patient reader rather than a reluctant one.

Lily must deal with a bully named Amanda at her new school and struggles to find her way in new friendships with smart, organized Gina A friendship story--Lily moves to the city from a very small town when her mother changes jobs. Lily must deal with a bully named Amanda at her new school and struggles to find her way in new friendships with smart, organized Gina and with Nate, the adult son of the owner of a pet store where Lily spends time after school and who has Downs Syndrome.
Nicely woven into this story about adapting to new situations and standing up for oneself and one's friends are references to Alice in Wonderland, which Lily must read for a school assignment and shares aloud with Nate. Beautifully written, with authenticity in every character. Jul 15, Diane rated it really liked it Shelves: Their lives had been so perfect back home in Glenview, where everything was quiet and green.
