Since leaving the Foundling Hospital, Hetty Feather has seen her fair share of drama, excitement, tragedy and loss. After the death of her beloved mama, she sets off to find a real home at last - starting with the search for her father. But Hetty is no longer a simple country girl, and begins to fear she'll never truly belong anywhere.

I think this is wonderful book because the girl Hetty is going to look where she belongs and her mum died and her father works with fishes and have a wife called Katherine that Hetty detests her so much and she went to live with her beloved step brother Jem and she runs away from him and went join it I would recomend this book because the girl who did not have proper parents searches were she belongs so I like it.

It was a very interesting I think that Hetty was the best character because she had good character development and no matter what did what she wanted to and I think that what she did was a good idea because if you do what your heart says then you will be truly happy although I think she should have conversed with Jem about the fact of Hetty being underage and not old enough for him.

I liked Hetty as she is daring and strong and I don't think she made the right choice I would have stayed with the dad because she had her friend with her and in the other option she had her foster mum. And in the circus you have to work hard.

I liked the storyline. My favourite character is Hetty. I liked it when Hetty went with her family.

It is about a girl who has several names lost in search of her dad.

This is a fiction book and I liked how the author has expressed the feeling of the character "Hetty" when her mom and her foster dad John died. what interested me more is how Hetty rose up to the challenge to take care of her foster mom Peg as she was very petrified after her husband John passed away. The character I like most was Janet because she and Jem were the only one listening to Hetty and being kind to her.
