Best-selling Jacqueline Wilson adds a new chapter to her story of feisty Hetty Feather, a foundling child who bounces resiliently through life despite the many knock backs that come her way. Having found her real mother who subsequently dies, Hetty sets out to find her real father. When he fails to provide the ‘real’ home she is looking for, she goes back to her foster home for comfort. Is this where she belongs? Hetty’s questioning and energetic view on life will inspire her young readers to think vigorously too as they enjoy the roller coaster of her loves and losses.
