Social Issues Children Face

What do you do when you really, really like and respect someone and then they let you down?  How do you react when someone disappoints you?  What if you impulsively do something to hurt them back, and then you regret it later because maybe they won't like you any more, and you really, really still want them to like you?

These are the dilemmas Lily faces in this story by Kevin Henkes.  Children of all ages will be able to relate to Lily and her good intentions gone bad and the range of emotions she experiences throughout the story.
