Product description
In London, 1876, tiny baby Hetty Feather is abandoned at the Foundling Hospital. She is sent to live in the countryside with two foster-brothers, Jem and Gideon, helping in the fields and playing imaginary games. Together the three sneak off to the travelling circus, where Hetty is mesmerised by the show – especially by Madame Adeline and her performing horses! Hetty’s happiness is threatened when she is returned to the Foundling Hospital. The life of awful uniforms and terrible food is a real struggle. But now Hetty finally has the chance to track down her missing mother. Could she really be the wonderful Madame Adeline? Or will the truth be even more surprising? A heart-tugging story of secrets and surprises from blockbuster author Jacqueline Wilson, introducing a feisty heroine who lives in historical times.
“The story gripped me completely” Kate Kellaway, Guardian

Kittyluv
on 6 February 2021I love this book because there are so many interesting parts in there. My favourite part is at the end when Hetty and the boy runoff to the cinemas although the carer said no. This shows that they have true love to each other and they are actually able to do things together. Hetty is a really clever and thoughtful girl who loves to try things she has never done before. On account of my review I give this book 5 stars.

sparklyrainbow1223
on 21 April 2020I loved this book because there were sad moments but most of the time they picked up like when Hetty got fostered and then they had to go back to the hospital that was sad but then Hetty has made some friends.

on 6 January 2016Love this book. My friend started reading it before me but I still finished before her! She’s on chapter 10. I knew what the ending would be but cool to see what the bold Hetty Feather (or what her real name is later on in the book) does and finds out. (My longest review!)

on 18 April 2014I loved this book. It was a gripping read and I was really glued to it. I didn’t really like Hetty’s personality though, because she loses A LOT because of her temper. She lost a position, she lost a a friend – because she doesn’t have a lid for her temper (find out more on second and third book!). The worst character that appeared in this book I think is Sheila. She is such a big bully and does something horrendous at the beginning of ‘Sapphire Battersea’ (I personally think that she did it on purpose). Anyway, it is a highly-recommended book and a great read. You will learn something after reading it – promise.

on 3 September 2013I Think Hetty Feather by Jaqueline Wilson is a great book. I love it when her and her friend Polly in the foundling hospital picture things at their Playtime. Jem is really kind to Hetty and sneaks her into the curcis. Gideon and Hetty make a right pair.!!
This is a great book I thing everyone should read it.

on 28 November 2010i think that this book is one of the most emtional and comedy packed book there is. i love the character of hetty how she ends up in trouble and how it feel to be stuck somewhere you dont have your friends parents or brothers and sisters. i feel sorry for hetty because her brothers dont speak to her her sister forgets her she has her own friends. this book is 1 of the best books i have every read.
