As Tiggy lies in hospital after a terrible accident, her mind wanders. Reunited with her beloved cat, Jacoby, she explores past and present in a game of Jacoby's devising. Tiggy can go where she wants to go, be who she wants to be. It's not as comfortable as she had thought it would be. Tiggy is an angry and frustrated person who feels desperately unloved and unwanted. Her mother is distracted, grieving over the death of her husband and Tiggy's hated stepfather, Philip. Philip is the man who took Jacoby away from Tig and had him put down. In the game, no matter how hard she tries to escape him and to find a better place, Philip just won't go away. Only Jacoby is unperturbed.

|comment= I just cannot remember seeing adults generally as controlled, well behaved and impossible to hurt. Ever. (By the way, I also cannot remember this time in life when people in their late 20's seemed old, although supposedly everybody goes through it). Is it possible that I have never been a teenager???}}{{comment |name= anadiny mogno|verb= said|comment= I've never read a book as fantastic as this.I wish there were a place where adults wouldn't have the power to control us teenagers. This book has given me the inspiration to start a new life with full of energy. So thank you Alison Prince.
