Lily's hoping to put all the madness of the previous summer behind her. Telling people you hear voices doesn't win you many friends. Especially when you're starting high school. Especially when everyone thinks you're just like your troublemaking big sister. At least Lily's best mates Rowan, David and Aisha will stand up for her. But when she finds nasty messages in her locker, Lily knows someone's out to steal her friends and leave her all alone. Lily hopes a fun trip to the Isle of Arran will bring her friends together, but soon those dramas seem like the least of her problems. Back home, her big sister's in big trouble: She might end up in jail — or worse. The last thing Lily wants is to start up that weird psychic stuff again, but it might be her only hope... Spend the autumn with Lily in this beautifully written, laugh-out-loud sequel to Waterstones Children's Book Prize longlister The Mixed-Up Summer of Lily McLean by Kelpies Prize winner Lindsay Littleson.

      Gr 8 Up-It's the first day of high school for Lily McLean of Largs, a real town in Scotland. Lily is raised by a single mother, and she and her family eke by financially. Lily is the responsible daughter, who studies hard and helps care for her three younger stepsiblings, while older sister Jenna has turned into a Terrible Teen. Lily has a small group of close friends who are definitely not part of the "in" crowd, except for Rowan, whom she has known the longest but who lives next door to Georgia, one of the girls who treats Lily like scum. This follow-up to The Mixed-Up Summer of Lily McLean has potential, but the characters are badly drawn, and the plot requires plenty of suspension of disbelief. In the previous volume, Lily discovered that she was telepathic. So when she learns that Jenna is hanging out with a boy who was expelled from school, she decides to try to "reach" her sister and make her see reason. Unbelievably, Jenna claims she can hear Lily speaking to her. She listens to her sister's warnings and runs away when the boy convinces her to help him break into the school. The author's writing doesn't quite pull off the premise. VERDICT Not recommended.-Marlyn Beebe, Long Beach Public Library, CA
