Sapphire Battersea by Jacqueline Wilson
By LionLover (Age 11)
In this funny, touching, sad and joyful sequel to the bestselling Hetty Feather, Jaqueline Wilson explores Hetty's feelings when she leaves the Foundling Hospital and goes into service at the age of fourteen....
Hetty Feather is the mischievous, red-haired, notorious Foundling child in the Victorian ages, who is about to go into service for the first time. But, when her mother, Ida, is discovered, Hetty longs to be reunited with her. As she is leaving the hospital, her beloved elder foster brother, Jem, shows up, but poor Hetty fails to recognise him. She is whisked off to her new job as a Maid of All Work, and finds a new sweetheart, named Bertie, and is torn between him and Jem. But, when she is thrown out of her new position, Hetty must face the extraordinary new world alone. Where is mama? And will she ever see her loved ones again?
