The Last House in the Row

Hayley discovers the importance of giving people a chance in this thought-provoking tale from critically acclaimed author Lesley Parr.

Hayley is furious that her beloved cat, Judy Garland, keeps sneaking off to the garden of the weird old lady across the street. Lillian, or Boo, as Hayley calls her, hasn’t left her house for years, not since the council came up with their plan to knock down the row of houses to make way for a new development.

Everyone in the street dismisses Lillian as an eccentric old woman, but when Hayley is forced to get to know her, an unlikely bond develops between them and Hayley learns the real reason behind Lillian’s reluctance to move.

But when a misunderstanding threatens their friendship, Hayley must use all of her ingenuity to repair it.
