Lily Alone

Jacqueline Wilson releases new book

By nwilliams

Jacqueline Wilson's new book is out today. The book is called Lily Alone and is about what happens when Lily is left at home, with her three younger siblings to look after.

The book's blurb says: 

Lily isn't home ALONE - but she sort of wishes she was; looking after her three younger siblings is a lot of responsibility.

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 . . .

Will you be buying it? Watch the trailer for Lily Alone below:

    I don't think it's a movie, but Jacqueline Wilson books quite often have book trailers like My Sister Jody.

    The only thing that I DON'T like about JW books is that it is always about parents getting divorced, families splitting up and people running away. Try to have a change.:)

    Amani28, it is not a movie. I wanna get this book!

    Lol @ PeaceLove. Yes, that is very true. It's getting a bit silly now, all these VERY unhappy families. This one is quite an extreme situation!
