Product description
Beloved Waterstones Prize-shortlisted novel by Helen Peters about the ups and downs of running a family farm AND trying to stage a secret play in a secret hen house theatre!
Since the death of her mother, Hannah’s family life has been somewhat chaotic. Her father is absorbed by running their dilapidated farm, and the four children are increasingly left to their own devices. These include “farming” each room of the house, looking after an enormous pet sheep called Jasper, and writing and directing plays in a disused hen house. But when the farm is threatened with demolition, Hannah determines to save it and realise her dreams at the same time…
Shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize, this is a brilliant story of eccentric family life where the children’s imaginations run as free as the farmyard animals. From the award-winning author of Evie’s Ghost, Anna at War, The Farm Beneath the Water and the Jasmine Green series for younger readers, this is perfect for fans of Eva Ibbotson, Emma Carroll and Frank Cottrell Boyce
This edition is reissued with a beautiful new cover.

on 16 July 2012The Secret Hen House Theatre is an amazing book. There are lots of different genres you can put it under like spies when she does things behind her dads back, mystery because she no one knows what will happen next and romance which I find is very strange. The main character Hannah has to focus on her dream, even if no one believes in her. Each character has their one personality and feelings so it is a challenge to keep track of who’s who. Usually stories are based on one thing but this book finishes the main story but carries on, this intrigued me. What made the book special was how there were many different parts which the author managed to fit together. I like this book because it is different to the others I have read, it is not like others so I love it that bit extra.

This was a heart warming, emotional story that really got me into the character’s shoes. A massive well done to the author who helped me to find some magnificent words like solopsistic and serendipity!
