“It’s Christmas Day at the
Foundling Hospital and Hetty Feather receives and unexpected present. But
Hetty’s delight sparks jealousy, which soon turns to trouble, and the dreaded
Matron Bottomly is thrilled to exclude Hetty from the Christmas festivities.
Poor Hetty is distraught – but just when it seems that all is lost, a dear
friend arrives to whisk her away for a Christmas like no other…”
What were your initial thoughts on the book?
I thought the book was
going to be as amazing as other Hetty Feather books. So far I have read every
book involving Hetty and can’t wait to read more. By reading the blurb I
couldn’t really tell what the book was about apart from that it happened in
Christmas. Hetty looked happy in the front cover, but when I started reading
the first pages -that weren’t part of the actual story- I found out a lot more
about the life in Victorian England, and it looked like that Hetty was going to have a very different and
unusual Christmas rather than just the usual breakfast, lunch and Christmas
present- an orange and a penny. Reading those few pages made me want to read it
even more than I already did.
Who was your favourite character and why?
In this book I have two favourite characters Hetty Feather and Rose Rivers. I like Hetty because she is adventurous and funny, I also like her because she doesn’t try and hide her feelings and she is very outgoing, she doesn’t care about what others think of her. She shows people that it doesn’t matter what your background is, you are just as good as anyone else! I like Rose for very different reasons, she is kind and caring to others no matter who they are, even if other people specifically tell her to not to talk to that person because they are a servant and she is more important than them. I also loved the descriptions of the Rivers great big home, it was lovely!
Would you recommend this book?
I liked everything
about this book; it would be very difficult for me to choose just one thing as
it was all amazing. I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 10 and upwards who likes
books about the Victorian times.
Summarise the book in one sentence. (Verdict)
An amazing story that
brings you the spirit of Christmas in Victorian times.
