The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily
Allen & Unwin, 2016 $23.00pb 215pp
ISBN 978 1 7602 9382 6
Themes: Brothers and
sisters/ Christmas in New York City/ Friendship/ Love stories
Lily has had a hard
year and somehow all her enthusiasm for her favourite time of year, Christmas,
has melted away like the snow on the sidewalk. It is up to Dash and a mixture
of true friends and relations to help her find her passion for life once more.
Sounds a little ephemeral? Far from it!
This is a wise and witty novel that will be particularly appreciated by
readers who have already met the characters in Dash and Lily’s Book of Days and, as a non-demanding read it is just
right for the end of year wind down.
Year 8 up/ Age
12 up (and adults)
