Anyone who
reads this book MUST keep in mind that it’s not written like a regular book
with defined dialogues and narratives; but instead it’s diary-based with the
writings of a young girl’s trials and tribulations and her “secret” inner thoughts
regarding them, which is why you’ll find explanations of things in the
storyline throughout the book. Mothers should try to remember what they wrote
in their diaries, if they had one.
While Lily
[short for Lilymandra] appears to all who see her as being a cute little 12
year-old, blonde-haired girl with freckles, she is in reality a 286 year-old
witch. Lily has the power to “physically” step into a friend’s shoes so she
could be with a boy she likes, a boy her friend Krystal once had as a
boyfriend. How many of you reading this wished you could have done that when you
were young?
Lily knows
what is right and what is wrong. So when she sees Tiffany, one of the school’s
bad girl bullying her friend, Lily steps in, using her powers to tell the truth
regarding another student while at the same time embarrassing herself. And in
doing so the teaches about bullying, why it’s bad as well as what can/should be
done to stop it.
The well-written
storyline makes for a humorous/informative reading experience for girls between
the ages about 9 – 13, and those who are still young at heart, which is why I’ve
given Ms. Cullen and her book 5 STARS.

handful of words/terms uses the British spelling.
