Summary: Can Lily help bedwetters?
Comment: This book as a story is well written, contemporary and for the most part fun to read. My interest in the book was to see how it dealt with the topic of bedwetting. Overall I was disappointed. Lily is described as an occasional but frequent bedwetter. So, while this story might help children to feel more sympathetic towards peers who wet and enable them to empathize with children who share a similar experience, the conclusion does not offer hope to the many children who have never been dry at night and for who bedwetting can be characterized as a chronic problem. In fact Ms. Warner furthers some misconceptions and stereotypes about bedwetting by suggesting that Lily's troubles have a psychological basis (which statistically may be true in about 3% of children who wet) and that withholding fluids might be a viable treatment approach.
The conflict in the story identifies a crucial moment which almost all bedwetters face but the resolution (though not uncommon)does not offer the possibility of a long term solution.
I am happy to see any book which helps raise awareness of the common and often distressing problem of bedwetting. For readers looking for another Lily adventure this book might fill the bill. For readers looking for a book to help their child better understand his or her own wetting or offer some insight or help in resolving wetting, Accidental Lily is not much help.
