Book Reviews of Lily's Crossing
Book Review: I would give this book 3 stars
Summary: 3 Stars
I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars because it is a good book but it is not as good as other books I have read. I also think it was not very detailed and there were parts in the book that didn't make sense. My favorite thing about the book is that Patricia Reilly Giff makes an unbreakable friendship between Lily and Albert.One thing I think the author should have done differently is to have explained things a little better. My favorite character was Gram because she might have not shown her love for Lily but really she would do anything for Lily. Gram reminds me of my Godfather, Bill, who unfortunately was in a plane crash. My least favorite character was Margaret because she was very naughty and mean.
One part that really made me think was when Lily went to save Albert in the storm. It made me think "Would I do that?" and "What would I do in that position?"
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read it.
Book Review: If you want to hear a true friendship story,heres the one.
Summary: 5 Stars
Lilly was a girl who went on vacatoin for the summer. Though her dad must go away. There is one person she thought she would never like, but they become friends. This story has beautiful language, like when she describes the lake with extraordinary colors. You will love this book.Book Review: It was a good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought Lily's Crossing was a good book. This was about a girl named Lily, whose dad has to go to a war. If you like war stories you would like this book.Book Review: LILY'S THE BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
I LIKE THIS BOOK BECAUSE LILY CHANGES FROM BEING SELFISH TO MATURE. MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN LILY SAVES ALBERT IN THE STORM. I ALSO LIKED WHEN SHE PLAYED THE PIANO REAL LOUD BECAUSE SHE WAS MAD AT GRAM. I THINK THE BOOK COULD BE BETTER IF THEY TOLD WHAT HAPPENED TO EDDIE. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR PEOPLE TO READ BECAUSE IT IS INTERESTING AND TEACHES ABOUT HISTORY.Book Review: Let me just say that this book is for historygeeks
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is for history geeks. It was about Lilly, who must be at least six. Her mother died and her father is kind of strange. She goes away to their summer home to live with the grandma. Grandma is rude and extremly mean to poor Lilly. Then Lilly's best friend moves away. Then her dad leaves to go work in a factory. She is not sure what to do. Grandma is even meanier than before. Then a new nieghbor moves in. He seems nice. Lilly lies a lot, but she can swim. The new nieghbor can't. SHe decides to teach him how to. Then she discovers that he lives with his aunt and uncle. His parents are across the ocean. Lilly lies and tells him that he can swim accross the ocean. The retard actually believs her. Then he trys to get home by swimming in the middel of a hurricane. Pointless. Then Lilly discovers what happened and rescues him. In the end, her grandma says that she is heroic and doesn't even dicipline her. Lilly keeps on lying. Lilly's grandma should have really punished her. I mean, she could have gotten herself and ALbert killed. Then the whole town thinks she is a hero. This book is set during WW1. I think it is for history bluffs. This book was a big mistake. I got it at a book fair and it sucked. Lilly is only six, she wears bright red lipstick and prenteds she is a spy. She is always sneeking out and then getting caught. Does she get punished, heck no. But when she tells grandma she doesn't want to play the piano, then she is punished. What the heck is up with that. Oh well, just don't read it.
