Love your book. Nita and Kathy, you did a great job. Of course, I love the title character! The Lilli in the book definitely reminds me of her namesake. Laura Ellis

Hey! I finally finished the book a week or so back and gave it to Janson to read and see if his daughter would like it as well. I was a little confused reading it because you left Princess Rule 1 blank, which of course you reveal at the end. I thought the book was very thoughtful and the creative obstacles that helped move the story along smoothly and helped make it an easy read. I love how creative you got with the other family members from places like Montanzia! It was very creative and I could tell that you put a lot of love in the story and its characters. I would love to see it as a series which you alluded to at the end. Joshua Hamaker
