Tilly's Midnight Fox

          BOOK REVIEW

 

REVIEWED BY SOPHIE THOMPSON

The main characters are Tilly, Mum, Dad, the new born baby and, of course, Granny. Tilly really likes exploring her new garden.

Tilly and her Mum and Dad move to a bigger and older house, but when they find out that mum is ill when she is having a baby, she is in big trouble. Mum has to go to hospital while granny is coming to look after Tilly because Dad stays at the hospital most of the time. Before Mum goes, Tilly finds a girl about the same age as herself. Tilly’s new-found friend is called Helen. When Tilly starts at her new school, she is very happy. Then she gets a bit ill and has to stay at her house. While she is off, Tilly sneaks into the garden. Tilly finds a fox that leads her into Helen’s garden, where Tilly finds Helen up in her tree house. Then Tilly’s Mum has the baby and it is so sweet!

I liked the bit when the baby is born because everybody is happy again and Mum isn’t ill any more.

I liked most of it but

I would recommend this to 6-7 years olds who like reading and are good at it.

 There were a few too sad bits like when Tilly loses little fox, her toy fox.

This book was happy and sad. It is happy because a baby boy is born, and sad because Tilly’s Mum gets ill.

I learned that many people do not respect God’s creations.
