Jacqueline Wilson's first historical novel for children now comes in paperback. Hetty Feather is something of a Victorian Tracy Beaker; left at a Foundling Hospital and in search of a mother she knows one day will find her again. And, through lots of hardship and adventures for Hetty, she does! Ages: 8 Together they sneak off to visit the travelling circus, and Hetty is mesmerised by the show - especially the stunning Madame Adeline and her performing horses. But Hetty's happiness is threatened once more when she must return to the Foundling Hospital to begin her education.
