review 1: So far Lily hates her new life in the noisy city with neighbors that make so much noise in the night that she thinks that they are vampires , and almost every night her mom has to call the police on them because they can barley sleep . Lily is the main character of this book. ‘’Willowood Cecilia Galantes powerful novel of friendship and family. Lily Sinclair misses her best friend Bailey who seems to have forgotten her . Lily has moved away and is very sad about that .She and Bailey had a secret place ,where she used to live .Her mom works for long hours and she only sees her in the night ,and Lily made a enemy in school. But when Mrs Hiller her next door neighbor introduces her to Bernard he owns the pet palace gave her a part time job there. Lily makes a g... morereat friend with his son, Nate with a adult syndrome he helps her a lot and they even save iguana eggs. But when Lily trys to do something special for him he goes crazy and and she needs help from a someone she thought can never count on . I think this book has a lot of feeling into it because Lily loves iguanas and lizards, and couldn’t believe what they did to them in the pet store . Also she misses her best friend Bailey and her dad who she never met. Shes tired of lies and sadness. I rate this 3 stars and recommend it to a lot of people that like a book with feeling in it , but it really didn’t have a problem so that kind of ruined it but it was good book . And hope of people take chances and read this book.
review 2: A friendship story--Lily moves to the city from a very small town when her mother changes jobs. Lily's father has been absent her whole life, and she wonders about him even more once she is without her lifelong best friend Bailey and their magical hideaway, Willowood. Suddenly Bailey has no time to talk with Lily on the phone and has befriended their old nemesis. Lily must deal with a bully named Amanda at her new school and struggles to find her way in new friendships with smart, organized Gina and with Nate, the adult son of the owner of a pet store where Lily spends time after school and who has Downs Syndrome.Nicely woven into this story about adapting to new situations and standing up for oneself and one's friends are references to Alice in Wonderland, which Lily must read for a school assignment and shares aloud with Nate.Beautifully written, with authenticity in every character. less
