I loved it was very good and it was fiction personally I loved miss brisket the best i dont think it was very factual but every book tells you something. I would recommend it to people who love to write.

Would you like to be a maid?No?Well this book is for you. Sapphire Battersea ( formerly known as Hetty Feather) has just come out of the Foundling Hospital but she doesn't like her job!How will she respond to this?

It was a very interesting,moving story epecially when Hetty's mother passes away. It is very interesting to see how many Victorian children were treated at the time. It holds lots of information about the Victorians since it's set in the Victorian era. I found this book very heartfelt and understanding because Hetty was only around 14 years old when her mother passed away.

About the book I chose to rate it a 3 star because at some parts I didn't want to carry on as I just didn't have the feeling to carry on. My thoughts are about my favorite parts and my favorite parts is when Hetty writes her letters and reads her replies , my least favorite part is when Ida (her real mother)gets ill then dies. I would like Masie the most. It interested me because she and her sister are very lucky to have wonderful parents like me and my brother. Why, I would recommend it if the reader has lots of mixed up feelings so they could understand it more.

I really enjoyed this book because she gets to see long lost people eventually including her mother. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes reading about children going off on their own on a train with strangers. And also it is set in the olden days where people give their children a good slap if they don't behave. My favourite character is Bertie the Butcher's boy because I thought he was really cute when he went places with Hetty especially when Hetty got the coconut before him.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This was an amazing book! I really enjoyed reading this book and exploring Hetty's adventures as she got older and it was amazing how much she cared for her mum. I really liked how she travelled all around and how she was so brave! I would really recommend this book!

I liked this book because even though Hetty Feather faces lots of issues in her life but she never gives up and do her best to enjoy the life. With all her efforts she finds her mother. She makes friends and she enjoys her time with the company of her friends. She was always listening to her master even though He was unkind to her a lot. I would recommend this book because this books shows how we should fight back in our tough life and get through it.

I thought that this book was a marvellous book to get young kids into reading and older kids into believing that anything is possible. Sapphire Battersea ( Hetty Feather ) has lots of adventures and a very short temper that lands her in a lot of trouble including one that gets her dismissed from her position as a maid of all work. Also, this book fascinated me because there are a lot of mysteries that unfurl further in the book. I liked Hetty the best because she has two sides to her life; one side: her carefree side, and the other: her resisting side. I would recommend it to children in their fist year of a school e.g. they just moved schools and are nervous about making new freinds or, they just started secondary school and are nervous whether they would make any friends.
