Lili is the quietest kid in class. She spends recess inside with Lois, the class?s pet guinea pig, and allows Cassidy do her talking for her, even if it means never getting to have the best parts in games. Sometimes it?s just easier letting Cassidy be in charge, but will Lili have the courage to speak up when it means keeping Lois from getting hurt?

This warm, humorous story will speak to any child learning to find his or her own voice?and children used to being the boss might see themselves reflected in Cassidy?s over-the-top antics, as well.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2—Lili is so shy and soft-spoken that she is almost invisible in her classroom. She fails to ask for what she wants and often ends up with what she doesn't want: a partner named Cassidy. Then one day, when Mrs. Backmeyer is absent and Cassidy is being cruel to the guinea pig, Lili finds her strongest, most forceful voice and commands respect: "Even the glue in the bottle stood still." This engaging story is well written and even poetic. Lili is a well-developed character, and her growth is believable. The warm, energetic illustrations highlight the elements of humor in the story, as when the substitute teacher is on her cell phone outside the room with the class visibly out of control within. Lili's facial expressions are priceless, especially as she shrieks "STOP IT!," and children will laugh at Cassidy's archlike pigtails, and at the birds and fish that line up along with the students. While shy youngsters may claim Lili, others will relate to her. This excellent title will spark discussions on feeling shy, practicing assertiveness, and dealing with bullies.—Barbara Katz, Parish Episcopal School, Dallas, TX

From Booklist

Newbery Honor Book author Choldenko follows How to Make Friends with a Giant (2006) with another picture book about honest friendship and confronting bullies. Lili's voice is so soft that her teacher can't hear her during roll call. During partner projects, Lili is too shy to pair up, and at recess, she hides in the classroom with a book. Then loud Cassidy chooses Lili to work with on a project, but Lili ends up doing all the work. When Cassidy wants to share lunch, Lili ends up with the carrots and Cassidy gets the cake. The final straw comes when Cassidy decides to pour glue into the classroom guinea pig's water bottle. In defending a beloved pet, Lili finds her voice, learns to assert herself, and makes a true friend. Schindler's pastel illustrations have a feathery, soft-edged texture that adds a reassuring tone to the story of a child's roiling emotions. All kids, whether they're a Cassidy or a Lili, will leave this well-told story with plenty to think about. Engberg, Gillian

There’s a Lego in my bum which fits with the Lego in my chair and when I sit down to write, I hear the satisfying snap of the two pieces fitting together. I love words, dictionaries, thesauruses, sharp pencils, the smell of book ink and the delicious art of carving out sentences on clean white paper. I love to slip into another person’s skin and feel what it’s like to live another life. I love when characters come to me out of nowhere and make me cry so hard my mascara runs or laugh until my stomach hurts. I love the crazy fun and infinite possibility of storytelling.

What prepared me for a life of writing fiction? Though I have a BA from Brandeis University in English and American Literature and a BFA in illustration from Rhode Island School of Design, the true answer is probably genes. I come from a long line of Irish storytellers on my father’s side and theatre people on my mother’s. I always knew I loved to write, but it took me a long time to summon the courage to chase the dream. I finally went for it when I realized I would prefer to be a failure at something I wanted to do, then a success at something I didn’t.

While I was pretending I wasn’t a writer, trying to be a nice person with a nice quiet job somewhere, I sold lingerie, lipstick and lamp shades. I wrote junk mail. I taught visually and hearing-impaired kids horseback riding. I held a prestigious job in rubbish removal and I worked in a factory wearing a paper gown while wielding a large mallet on small serving packages of ketchup.

One Third Nerd, my funniest novel yet, is due out in January 2019. My most famous novel, Al Capone Does My Shirts, garnered 20 awards, one of which was the Newbery Honor. The Tales of Alcatraz series has sold more than 2 million copies. What will probably be the last book in the series: Al Capone Throws Me a Curve is the best of the fifteen books I’ve written so far.

I am a fitness fanatic; a book-obsessed, tennis-playing woman who thinks like a twelve-year-old. If I ever get the good fortune to meet you, offer me coffee and I will be your friend for life.

I loved this little book. I bought this and read it to my granddaughters who are both so much like Lili in the book. I read it to them because at 8 and 9 they are both severely dyslexic and feel so different and are so teased and bullied by their classmates. They both loved it. One more great read to help them with their confidence and self esteem.

This book is a great readaloud for K-1st grade children or classroom. I think the child who is extremely shy will see themselves in this book and may find that little nudge of courage needed to be "heard" in the classroom or in a group. The illustrations are wonderful!! A charming book!

I love this book, but it arrived with a huge bend in it. I have it sitting under my air fryer machine to flatten it out. I was very disappointed.
