Summary

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 six-year-old twins, her three-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 ...

Lilly Alone!!!! 2023!!!!!!!

I loved this book!!!!!! It has a thrilling tale as you take on an adventure with Lilly, Bliss,Baxter and Piexe! This story shows what some children actually have to go through in life however it has a twist! And as all 4 kids explore the beauty and the dangers of the park that they have to stay in they realise the Lilly’s favourite teacher of all time has betrayed her………😱😄🤪🫢😁

Such a horrible mum

This is quite an okay book but the mum is SO STUPID!Lily is good , Baxter is crazy, Bliss is wet and pathetic and stupid and Pixie is crazily cute and funny but weird.AND WHY DOES PIXIE ALWAYS WANT TO “do a wee-wee???!!! It sounds stupid.The narration is boring and Jacky Wilson is croaky and sounds like a person who cannot do voices. Towards the end, all the voices sound the same, except Bliss’ , that is just a lisp.The mum flaunts herself and has many boyfriends. She leaves Lily in charge of 3 young kids and insults themShamelessly to be incredibly rude and inappropriate she is a s-l-a-g!!!!!and BTW WHAT KIND OF BIG SISTER HITS HER SIBLINGS!!!! OMG!if u give this 5 stars u r kinda nuts 🥜🤪 Did I mention what a wuss bliss is???!!!! 😲😫😢 🙄 AND OMG LILY IS A THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She should be totally arrested omg

Another 5 stars title……. Love this author so much!

Loved this title. Although I am a grown adult,I like listening to these books by this author. A nice light easy listen every now and again from all the crime and gorr books I listen to. I listened to this in one sitting. I like how the author narrated her own book too. It made the title even better. I have another 2 of the authors books lined up for when I next want a break from the adult books. Definetely worth 5 stars all round. The story was enjoyable and the performance was equally as good. One more for my collections. Will re listen at a later date.
