Lily B. on the Brink of Paris (Lily B. Series) - Hardcover

Grade 5–8—This third episode finds eighth-grader Lily and seven of her classmates in Paris. During the trip, she keeps a journal that she is sure will provide material for her Great Parisian Novel. She admits in the very first line that "Everything I know about Paris, I've learned from the Madeline books." The class geek, the Vault of Information, and the flower child provide comic relief, if not believable story lines as the detail-disoriented Lily careers through the city without ever reading the guidebook or listening to the chaperone. References to pop culture may stump readers and rob this book of a timeless feel, but it will satisfy those looking for light, fun fiction.—Cheryl Ashton, Amherst Public Library, OH
