Amazing A: Lily's Crossing

Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff

Family Theme
Family is important to us, so I thought this would be a good theme to use. Both Lily and Albert have lost parents, but they still have the love of a family. Describe Lily's family. What is her relationship with Poppy? What is Gram's role in the family? How does Lily's relationship with Gram change at the end of the novel? How does Albert gain a sense of family from Mr. and Mrs. Orban? Pick one of your family members and discuss your relationship with that person. What do you like and what do you dislike about that relationship?

Lily's family is alwyas working to help each other. When someone doesn't want to do something they push them to do it. Her relationship with Poppy is very good because they understand each other and they do fun things together.Gram's role is making sure everyone is on the right page. She also cleans, cooks, and stays home with Lily. It changes a lot because Gram found Albert and Ruth and brought them back to the Orbans. They treat him like a child and give him food and shelter. With Magnificent M, the relationship is good, though I dislike how little time we spend together.
