I won this book in a drawing at my library a long time ago. I have loved it ever since. It's not a long book, but it is captivating. I would have liked for it to have been a little longer so we could get to know Lily's uncle, Jeremy, a little better. He seemed like a very interesting character and I wanted to know more about him. The one person that I hate is Ludo. He gives me the creeps every time I read it. I couldn't remember everything that happens because it has been quite a while since I've read it, but I knew Ludo was a bad character. I probably wouldn't have been as calm as Lily was when she found out he was locking her in her room and tried to make her think she was crazy. I probably would've attacked him and tried to clas his eyes out.
I don't know if it will be easy to find this book or not for some, but if you happen to come across it you should give it a try. It's a short read, but nice when you don't really know what you want to read next.
