Interesting story about an 8-year-old girl living with her English father and Nigerian mother who has a friend, TillyTilly, who may or may not be imaginary. I don't want to give too much away, but it kept me up late at night reading to find out what happens in the end. The book cover says that the story draws on Nigerian mythology.
