"When the Rileys move in next door, Lily and Ella become the best of friends. Lily and her brother Jake are round there all the time, playing with Ella and Danny and listening to Aunty Maisie's stories about her possum-skin rug. But Lily can't understand why her dad doesn't like the Rileys, and she doesn't like the things he says about them. Why is he being so horrible and mean? Why doesn't he want them to go over there? Will something big have to happen to change his mind?"--Back cover
