Exuberant young fashionista Lily Max finds herself in major a predicament on the first day of school skiing.
Miss Sprotts is totally NOT COOL with her radically modified ski outfit – and everyone is about to discover she’s an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER.
When an ad appears for the Snow Festival’s fashion show, Lily Max is confident she has time to create a stunning collection, and learn to ski. But with her arch-rival, queen-of-mean (and captain of the ski team) Violet Hughes scheming to beat her, can all Lily Max’s crazy dreams come true?
“I thought you said you could ski, Lily Max?” says Violet. “Like my outfit just screams CANNOT SKI or something.”
Written by Jane Bloomfield and illustrated by Guy Fisher

Review comments
Sarah Forster, Booksellers NZ ~ “This is the second in Jane Bloomfield’s Lily Max series, published by Luncheon Sausage Books, and as you would suspect, it is all about fashion, baby. Every budding fashionista needs these books.
“Lily Max lives a slightly surreal life in an unnamed town quite like Queenstown, with her clothes designer / seamstress mum, her snow sculptor dad, her bothersome (but getting easier to get along with) sister Angelica, her 3-year-old brother Rocco, and their cat Dottie. The book opens on a snow day, with pancakes and snow sculpting and the small matter of a slightly over-decorated school issue ski suit. Lily Max is getting ready for the first of six weeks of school ski days; she can’t ski even a little, her best friend Greer is still in LA, and she has nothing to wear…” Read the full review.
Takoda, age 12 (2021) Hooked on Books/NZ Book Council ~ “Next time I go up in the mountains I would like to have made a jacket like Lily Max’s. One of my favourite things about this story is the amount of friendship and love it includes.
“I feel this book is aimed at girls aged 9 to 13. Younger girls would enjoy this book being read to them. Girls that are into fashion or skiing will enjoy this immensely.”Read the full review.
