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 helps in the fields and plays imaginary games. Together they sneak off to visit the travelling circus and Hetty is mesmerised by the show, especially Madame Adeline and her performing horses.

But Hetty's happiness is threatened once more when she is returned to the Foundling Hospital. The new life of awful uniforms and terrible food is a struggle for her. But now she has the chance to find her real mother. Could she really be the wonderful Madame Adeline? Or will Hetty find the truth is even more surprising?

This is my favourite book and my auntie is buying me Sapphire Battersea for Christmas! I really love this book, when Jacky describes all the hard and awful treatment that the children had to take in, all the Child Labour.

I actually haven't read th book yet but by the sound of the summary and all the reviews it sounds really good and I am really excited to read it; especially as all of Jaqueline Wilson's books are amazing, and she is my favorite. I havn't read the book yet but I encourage all Jaqueline's fans to read every one of her books, especially this one. Read the book!
