Description

Hetty Feather is a young girl with a fiery spirit, living in London in 1876. After being left at the Foundling Hospital as a baby, Hetty must first live with a foster family until she is big enough to attend school. Life in the countryside is hard, but with her foster brothers, Hetty finds joy in helping in the fields and playing imaginative games. She is especially fascinated by the travelling circus, and the stunning Madame Adeline and her performing horses. However, Hetty's happiness is short-lived, as she must return to the Foundling Hospital to begin her education. The new life is a struggle, with awful uniforms and terrible food, and Hetty desperately misses her beloved foster brothers. But now she has the chance to find her real mother, and the truth about her past is more surprising than she ever imagined. Jacqueline Wilson's novel tells a compelling and moving story of a young girl's journey to discover her identity and find her place in the world.
