About this ebook

Lily isn't home ALONE - but she sort of wishes she was.

When Mum goes off on holiday with her new boyfriend and her stepdad fails to show up, Lily is determined to keep the family together and show they can cope without any grown-ups.

But taking care of 6-year-old twins, her 3-year-old sister and the family's flat feels overwhelming and Lily is worried that school or social services might discover their situation and break up the family.

What could be better than to take all the little ones for a camping adventure in the park? Plenty of space to run about, no carpet to vacuum, and surely no chance anyone will guess they're there . . .

A brilliant story from the bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.

Jacky is my all time favourite author. Lily Alone is a great story and in my opinion the best of all J.Ws books. In the ending (SPOILER ALERT ONLY READ IF YOU'VE READ THE BOOK) I hope they all go back to their mum. Only 4 stars because the ending was a bit unsatisfactory and I wish their was one more chapters to sum the whole book up.

I love this book.I especially love pixie who keeps repeating the last word you say.Lily was very brave to think they will be safe alone in the park,poor bliss. surprisingly Baxter turned into a soft-hearted boy from a killing fighting monster.It was a great book
