Lily Robbins has always been a model student, the one who always follows the rules. But suddenly, Lily is questioning the rules--both at home and at school, and it's getting harder to keep her mouth shut about it. When Lily blows up and goes off on the science teacher, she suddenly becomes Ms. Popularity. And soon Lily starts thinking that being a little bit 'bad' actually feels good, particularly after the 'popular' kids start congratulating her for standing up to Mr. 'Nuthouse.' Of course, in true Lily fashion, she goes all the way with it--an 'alternative' hair-do, a pitch to her parents to have her belly-button pierced, and she even designs a risque tee-shirt that pushes the envelope on the dress code. But when a truly worthy cause arises, Lily's new reputation precedes her. Lily realizes she's got to regain the trust of those who matter most to her, and starts on the road to repairing not just her image, but, most importantly, her God image. Recommended for ages 8 to 12. The It's My Life Book is a companion to Lily the Rebel. |
