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.

My favourite character was Hetty because she was strong and brave even through her hardest times. I would recommend it

I read this book several times and I love it. It's so fun learning about the Victorians. It got me watching the TV series too.

It was a really emotive book with surprises every time you turned a page. A descriptive material to enjoy.

It was a good story because she found her mum and the sad bit is that she didn’t really like her name. The boys were bullying her step brother.

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

This book was not as exciting as the other ones. Some parts I didn’t like but it was good.
