And something to say—mostly, “Out of my way, Lily!” But Lily has somewhere to go, too. Out on the lake, the tall ships are coming! To pass from the harbor to the lake, Lily must blow her horn and ask the lift bridge to rise—\u003ci\u003e“Meee-me?”—\u003c\/i\u003ebut the big vessels’ blasts are so much louder as they crowd her out and rock her with waves. Finally, Lily slips under just before the bridge goes down, her sails fluttering with excitement as she spies the majestic barquentine, schooner, and other grand old ships heading toward the now-lowered bridge. Silently! How will the bridge know to rise? Can Lily save the day? This tale of plucky persistence, illustrated with the splash and sparkle of a summer day on the water, is sure to empower any child to take charge when the time is right. A note from the author, a Newbery Honoree, offers more facts about bridges and boats for curious readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargi Preus, \u003c\/b\u003ea \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest-selling author, wrote the Newbery Honor Book \u003ci\u003eHeart of a Samurai\u003c\/i\u003e and other novels, including the Enchantment Lake mystery series, \u003ci\u003eThe Littlest Voyageur\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Village of Scoundrels\u003c\/i\u003e.
