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 ...

Loved Lily !
My daughter loved Lily's antics - her predicament was made to feel really real and we could just imagine how she felt. We particularly liked the idea of staying in the hollow tree in the park and loved Lily's resourcefulness in feeding and looking after her siblings. The story had a serious note as well and made my daughter feel that she was lucky to live in a normal family with parents who loved her.

Great book!

My favourite book I’ve read this year
This was my first audiobook and I absolutely loved it. I listened to it every day because of it’s amazing story line I had to keep listening to it. It almost felt as if I was Lily and had to look after my 3 little siblings all by myself. If you’re thinking of buying this one then definitely do. I loved how that if you are signed in to the same Amazon account as the one you bought it on on your Alexa you can ask her to just simply ‘read Lily Alone’ and it would pick up from where you left on any device. I would recommend ages 8+ For this book because of its situations and some sad parts, but if you can handle sad fiction then you will be fine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars ✨
