It's 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 plays imaginary games.

I really liked how Hetty really wanted to go away from Sheila, Matron. The book made me want to run free.

I really liked Hetty Feather because she always managed to defend herself from the matron and the bullies and I really like her adventurous spirit

This book is ace. I cannot believe how much it just sucked me in. I felt I was hetty/sapphire herself. Wandering the streets, locked in the attic every step hetty was with me. I would defo reccomend this book to someone else. Jacqueline Wilson you have outdone yourself again

Hetty Feather is a great tale, but also very sad.An especially sad part is when she leaves her foster brother Jem to go back to the foundling hospital.
