He’s older than anyone can tell. Older than the trees. Older than anybody. For as long as she can remember, Lucy has wanted to catch a glimpse of the mysterious green man who lives in Grandpa Will’s garden: Lob. You have to be very special to see him; that’s what Grandpa says. Lucy’s parents think Lob’s just imaginary, but Lucy knows he exists.

Sweet story, but didn’t to the point/moral quick enough. Not sure the age group it’s aimed at will get it.
I liked how lob was made of nature and plants.
Lucy and her grandpa have a little secret,and that secret ia that there is this little guy called Lob and only special people can see him.And really special people can hear him and see him.Lucy's grandpa was Lobs best friend they both liked gardenong as well.But unfortunatly Lucy's grandpa died of a heart attack.
I was taken in by the amazing language used and the string characterisation.
This book is about a girl called Lucy who goes to her grampa's house every holiday. She would ask her grampa why the garden work was already done before she got there. Grampa would say it was LOB work. This story was a bit happy at first but then towards the end something very said happened which I will now say but then also during that time it was happy again because Lucy's family got an allotment where they met LOB. I would recommend this book because it is an interesting fantasy.
i thought a little sad about lob.
i thought sad about lob because a man called gilbert locked lob in a cage.

It’s sad when the grandad dies. Like this book due to it being magical
I was a little scared soetimes but did like it
Really enjoyed this book I got from my school library before the lockdown.
You should read this book because its interesting and fun at the same time. I recommend this book to any age as I am twelve years old and still enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy reading it!!
It is really good and a bit sad because near the end the Grandpa dies from a heat attack. Then Granny moves to London with Lucy's family. I find it really funny how when ,Lob is on the streets trying to find Lucy , no one sees Lob.
It is really interesting about how Lob tidies up gardens. I also think that it is really weird when Lob tries to find Lucy . It is because when Lob walks on the streets nobody can see him.
I loved this book because there were lots of nice poems

It was funny because it is fun and it is about nature and how you should admire it. I like the picture they are always you don't always expect to see them if you are listening to the story.
Interesting
Lob is full of wonderful illustrations to accompany and accomplish the story. I liked this one in particular because it made me feel magical at the end.
