It was a great read for me because it was suspenseful and interesting. I liked Lily as she has a personality like me (naughty/cheeky).

I found the story interesting because it was set in the war and there was a cat in it. I would recommend the book to those who like historical novels and cat lovers.

I loveddd this book, but I do get sad when I found out that Lily's parents/grandad had drowned Tip's kittens. I really like....the cats (Like I mean, cats are just the best, ok?) Again set by my teacher so yeah. I found a few words weird like:Tickety-boo and Boowie. It seemed strange when Lily told her grandson that she had married this dude who was 18, when she was 12.. But you do get used to it. Amazing. Read It.

I liked this book as Lily( the grandmother) explains her childhood about the tragic war and how Tips goes missing and Lily sets out to try find him. My favourite part is when everyone comes back from the war and she is reunited with her family and hopes Adie survived for as long as the days travelled by. I would recommend this book
