Lily Alone Book

What do you do when you're only 11 years old and you find yourself left in sole charge of your three younger siblings; 6 year old twins (Baxter and Bliss) and a 3 year old sister (Pixie)? Well that's what happened to Lily when her Mum is suddenly offered the chance to holiday in Spain with her new boyfriend. Mickey (the twins Dad and Lily's stepdad) who was supposed to be looking after them fails to turn up so the four children are virtually "home alone". Lily rises to the challenge and cleverly sidestepping potential problems such as the threat of social services or school discovering their ludicrous state of affairs, nosey neighbours, a shortage of food in the house and more besides, she manages to cope, deciding that the best way of dealing with their plight is to go camping in the park! Jacqueline Wilson whose books are eminently suitable for ages 9-11 is the author of the hugely popular Tracy Beaker series of books. She was children's laureate in 2005-7 and was awarded an OBE in 2002. She never fails to delight her young readers and her latest book, Lily Alone, is no exception.Read More
