The Willoughbys
By Lois Lowery
Pages: 176
ISBN: 0618979743
Genre: Fiction
Setting: There wasn’t really a time frame set. It was in a home and eventually a mansion.
This book wasn’t about one person. It was about four children; Tim, the oldest and I am guessing he’s about 13 never really says his age, the twins Barnaby A and Barnaby B and with them I guess about 11, and the youngest Jane, I would put her at about 8. They are in a unique situation. Their parents hate them and they hate their parents. So they try to get rid of each other. The parents hire a nanny, she goes by Nanny throughout the book, and up and leave. The children work together and end up having a loving relationship with Nanny. If I say too much I give away the ending, so I’ll just say this, in the beginning of the book they find a baby on their doorstep. I enjoyed this book. I would recommend it for a road trip for a family that has children about the ages of the kids in the novel. It was a fun read.
