This book is fiction I liked the uncle Kevin character the most because he lived in a castle and he was funny I would recommend this book

I thought that this book was a really exciting book because Tilly's mum said that they needed to tidy up and she didn't, and she visited Cousens grans and grandads because she wasn't listening. If it was fiction I would like tilly because I could visit my family and someone in my class is called Tilly and she is my best friend in the class. I would recommend this book to people aged 5 to10 I would also recommend it to my sister.
