The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips

A stunning novel about friendship, war, and one girl’s bravery which changes her life forever.It’s 1943, and twelve-year-old Lily Tregenza lives on a farm in an idyllic seaside village in England.

It’s a dangerous operation–guns firing and bombs exploding–and the whole area is off-limits. But Adolphus Tips, Lily’s adored cat, has other ideas–barbed wire and “Keep out!” signs mean nothing to her. Tips (cont’d)
