I’ve recently finished reading a book called Lily alone. I have written a book review on it and I’d like to share it!
Lily Alone is an adventure book by Jacqueline Wilson.
There is an eleven year old girl called Lily. She has three younger siblings; six year old Bliss, three year old Pixie and six year old Baxter.
Lily’s mum is single and never goes out because she can’t leave her kids alone. But Lily persuades her to go out to the pub for just one night. She doesn’t know that that decision can change a lot…
Lily’s mu starts going out a lot more now. She meets this 19 year old boy called Gordon who she really likes, and decided to go to Spain with him for a whole week leaving Baxter, Lily, Pixie and Bliss with her ex-husband Mikey! Mikey doesn’t turn up so all the children are on their own!
Eventually, they all get bored of eating ice cream and watching movies and staying away from people, so they take bags of food and toys and head to the local park. They stay in a hollow tree until mum comes back, with loads of exciting events ahead of them!
I rate this book five stars!
I liked the parts when Lily gets rid of nosy adults that are wondering where Lily’s parents are.
I don’t like the bit when everyone gets separated and put into children’s homes.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories!
