Hetty Feather

by Jacqueline Wilson

Ages 9–12 Reading age 10 Novel Set in the past movingadventurous

Left at the Foundling Hospital as a baby and fostered until she is six, Hetty is taken back to a Victorian institution and sets out to find her mother.

A story about children, moving and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
