A wonderful and original Jacqueline Wilson novel, featuring Hetty
Feather, a Victorian Tracy Beaker
London, 1876 and Hetty Feather is just a tiny baby when her mother
leaves her at the Foundling Hospital. The Hospital cares for
abandoned children -- but Hetty must first live with a foster
family until she is big enough to go to school.
Life in the countryside is hard but with her 'brothers' Jem and
Gideon, she helps in the fields and plays imaginary games. Together
they sneak off to visit the travelling circus and Hetty is
mesmerised by the show, especially Madame Adeline and her
performing horses.
But Hetty's happiness is threatened once more when she is returned
to the Foundling Hospital. The new life of awful uniforms and
terrible food is a struggle for her. But now she has the chance to
find her real mother. Could she really be the wonderful Madame
Adeline? Or will Hetty find the truth is even more surprising?
Jacqueline Wilson will surprise and delight old fans and new with
this utterly original take on a historical novel. Set in Victorian
times and featuring a brand new feisty heroine, Hetty Feather, this
is a Tracy Beaker-esque tale that will thrill young readers. Warm,
moving, funny and totally fascinating, it's the perfect gift for
girls of nine and older.
