I thought this book was really emotional at the end. Hetty feather, who was 14 year old at the time, had a chance to finally leave the foundling hospital. However, she had only just found out that her mother, Ida, worked at the hospital. She was terribly upset to find out that her mother was sent away to work somewhere else. Hetty became a servant girl for somebody who liked writing just as much as Hetty did. Hetty was hoping that he might publish her memoirs one day, but she was had misunderstood that he had stolen them instead. She was really angry and created such a fit that he fired her. Hetty was forced to go somewhere else but didn't know where. She decided to visit her mother in Bignor, even though it would be an expensive journey.What will happen next? Read this book to find out! I would recommend this book to 9+

It was really sad and it made me cry. Charlotte and Maisie Greenwood were my favourite characters. Yes I would recommend this story.

Sarah and Mrs Briskett the other servants help her. But when Hetty is rude to Mr Buchanan he sends her packing. Hetty is going to find her mama Ida but she finds a horrible shock!

I liked Sapphire Battersea [Hetty Feather] But I think Jacqueline could have used better vocabulary in some paragraphs. But over all it was amazing,absolutely brilliant!
