Lily Alone

Lily Alone
by Jacqueline Wilson

This book is about a girl called Lily who has two sisters and a brother called Bliss, Pixie and Baxter. They have a single mother who has to leave her children home alone. Since Lily is the eldest she is in charge and normally manages to get the others into bed in time. One day their mum goes to the pub and comes back talking about a man she met. Later on she ends up going with him on holiday. Lily is very worried about the idea of her mother being away for a week and having to look after three children at the age of eleven! The ending was not what I was expecting but I enjoyed it very much and it was exciting.
