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 ...

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………😱😄🤪🫢😁
