It would serve its purpose in raising self-esteem, but it was really, really predictable and the characters were so annoying.

Here's Lilly by Nancy Rue is a fun and entertaining book for young girls. As the main character, Lilly
learns difficult life lessons, she also sees that turning to God for guidance and confidence will help her regain her focus on who's opinion is really the most important. As with most pre-teen

girls, Lilly struggles with self-confidence, beauty, social issues, peer pressure and the struggle to balance friends, family and faith. In this book, and the other books in the Lilly Series, she learns that God's opinion is best. And although difficult at time, Lilly learns that listening the His instruction, and that of her parents, is what matters most.

I found throughout this book, that there are a lot of great lessons for young girls to learn in Here's Lilly by Nancy Rue. I think this book is a great addition to any young girl's library and will help them see themselves through God's eyes. It is definitely a book I plan to have my own daughters read.
