Hetty Feather - Jacqueline Wilson

THE BLURB: 

London, 1876

Hetty Feather is just a tiny baby

 when her desperate mother leaves

 her at the Foundling Hospital. 

The hospital cares for many such 

children - but Hetty must first live

with a foster family until she is big enough for school.

Hetty is poor but happy living in

the countryside with her 'brothers', 

Jem and Gideon. She helps in the

 fields and plays vivid imaginary 

games. The children sneak off to

visit the travelling circus and

Hetty is mesmerized 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

ultra-srict regime is a struggle 

for her. But on the day of  Queen 

Victoria's Golden Jubilee, Hetty 

gets the chance to see Madame 

Adeline again - and maybe find 

he real mother . . . 

SUMMARY: 

Hetty Feather is only just a new born baby when she is shipped off to another strange

family. Hetty has three other Foundling Hospital siblings, Martha, Saul and Gideon 

and 5 'real' siblings. When Hetty is close to turning 6 she is heartbroken. She was going

back to the Foundling Hospital. No more Jem and their imaginary games, no more Mother

and no more freedom. 

RATING:
I rate this book a 10/10 because it felt so realistic because Jacqueline makes it so detailed.
PERSONALLY:
Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it felt like I connected with Hetty
and it's just so realistic. I actually cried. :'(
RECOMMENDATION: 
I recommend this book for people 11+
