Marvellous! I really enjoyed it because it is talking about what might happen in real life of richer people and it was that good that I tried to read every moment I could get. This was a fiction book. My favourite person had to be Cali because she would be fun to be around and would make a smile on your face! I would recommend this book for people who are about to turn 12 years old or start at secondary school.

I loved the book because there was hope despite facing a challenging life of less money and not being rich anymore. The book was fiction and my favourite character was Liberty the main person. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about friendship and courage.

I loved this book as it made me want to read more and more. It is about a girl called Liberty whose dad loses his job and they have to move to a horrible flat.Throughout the book Liberty learns more about her mum. This book is fiction. My favourite character is Cali as she helps and supports Liberty through her journey. I recommend this book to anybody who likes books that have happy endings.

I thought that this book was amazing. Personally, I think that the Mum was to blame for the whole thing. I mean, if she didn't tour the world all the time then she could have stayed home and nothing like that would have happend. At the end of the book, the Dad was also super nice. Also, I think Alice was a bit..sorry a lot stuck-up. I mean she was super rude to Liberty when she was trying to go home. I also can't belive they went to boarding school. That's so cool! This book also teaches you a valuable lesson to not take being rich for granted, excpecting everyone to be like you. My faviroute character is probably the Dad because at the end he was so ever nice. OK, so maybe it wasn't the best thing to do to hide Mum's things but he couldn't help feeling so sad. He had to raise up both Sebastian and Liberty. That can't be an easy job, espicially when you are suffering from your cherished wife's death. I would reccomend it to everyone as this is an amazing book, both made for childrena nd adults. All I can tell you is that you can not let go of this book when you start reading it.

Probably one of the best books I've ever read!!!! I was just so stuck into it and I couldn't put it down. It just kept getting better and better. All the situations liberty went through are situations that lots of other people get. It made me really relate to the story and know exactly how she was feeling. I am definitely going to read one of kate maryons books again.

It's very sad, and has a beautiful story line. I have read it many times over.
