Synopsis  

No baby cried like Hetty Feather, a restless little sprout that when it came down to size it wasn’t looked over twice, but when it came to her crying no one could controller. Life decided to be as kind as it was cruel to the child.

First they let her out of the hospital and give her a family, a mother, a father, brothers, sisters and her dearest Jem. Only to be taken back to that horrid place, but the fire that has been in her will not let her settle.

Her new life of uniforms and strict rules doesn’t diminish Hetty’s ability to make believe or to remember that she was loved in her foster home, which mixed with her passionate character, sets her apart like a sour thumb.

 The fact that she was abandoned at birth doesn’t diminish Hetty’s hopes to find her real mother, but even with vague memories of her babyhood she doesn’t have much to go by. An she really find the woman that left her and find the truth about her origins?

Review

This was my first experience with an unreliable narrator that was full of imagination yet at the same time didn’t get to hide her own little childish selfishness or how strong she can really be.

Hetty’s story takes you through the ups and downs of life, how she was loved even when her personality got the best of her and out of her mother, how even when life was hard Hetty could be strong for others and how can a girl that went by her own code fit in a place such as the hospital.

This is a book that talks about lost, about adoption and being an orphan. It is not a Disney version book but it is not a book full of darkness and tragedy, it is stuck somewhere in the middle.

The way Jacqueline Wilson gave voice and took us throughout the story was one of my favorite things about this book, the narration just made this book an entertaining read, never giving you more then you should know but in a way showing enough that you could make theories as to what could happen next in the story.
