While trying to start new friendships in the first grade, six-year-old Lily gets in trouble with her teacher, but she soon discovers that it is possible to start over again after making a mistake

Lily Hill may only be six years old, but she's old enough to need some PRIVACY! Her big brother, Case, has his own room, but she has to share with her mother. Couldn't she just try out a few great ideas—like sleeping in the bathtub or in her mother's closet? After a series of funny failed attempts, Case comes to the rescue with an inventive solution to Lily's privacy dilemma. And Lily sees that accepting some help can solve even the most perplexing of problems.

Lily Hill is finally getting used to living in Philadelphia with her mother and older brother, Case. She's made friends with two of the most popular girls in her first grade—LaVon and Daisy—and she's been invited to LaVon's birthday/Halloween sleep-over party! But Lily has a teensy-weensy little bed-wetting problem (Shhhhh!) and she's afraid if she goes to the party, her friends might find out and tell everyone at school. Just when everything seems to be going wrong, Lily discovers that she's not the only kid in her class with this teensy-weensy problem. With some helpful suggestions from her mom and Case, Lily finds a way to go to the sleep-over and keep her little accidents to herself. In her third story starring the spirited Lily Hill, Sally Warner tackles a sensitive subject with understanding, insight, and humor.

Six-year-old Lily Hill is a medium sort of kid. She's medium smart, medium artistic, and has the medium number of best friends, which is two. Or it was two until she pushed her friend Daisy on the playground. It was an accident! Now Daisy won't play with her and neither will her other best friend, LaVon, since bossy Daisy won't let her. Lily is the left-over friend. But there's no time to feel sorry for herself. Lily's decided that it's time for her to be the bossy one. In this humorous and thought-provoking elementary school chapter book, Lily learns that being "the boss" in a new friendship isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are better ways of making and regaining friends. From the Hardcover Library Binding edition.
