Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson
The language is eight-year-old-friendly, the story weaves and ducks and there's an unforgettable scene when Hetty meets Madame Adeline, the circus performer she hopes may be her mother. Just occasionally, I mutinied against the animated stick-person feeling you get with Wilson's work. But the story gripped me completely, as it will its intended audience. KATE KELLAWAY
