The name that was hers from the start. After leaving her horrid years at the Founding Hospital, she experiences a different new hard life being a servant girl. She feels more free being out of the hospital, but misses someone so much, planning her future right there and then. She travels a bit, and events lead her to the seaside. I found it so cool as she does ordinary things, but ages ago so it's quite different.After finding out that Ida Battersea - the kitchen maid of the Foundling Hospital - is her mother, Hetty Feather regularly sneaks into her room at night to bond with her. Hetty dreams of being a successful author, writing stories under her true name, Sapphire Battersea. I think the characters in this book were excellently written, and I felt Hetty next to me, telling me about all the strange things and scary or funny happenings in her life. I felt Bertie telling me jokes, and Hetty raising her eyebrows. Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million!

Madame Berenice & Emily: A medium who holds seances. Hetty finds out that she and her sister, Emily, are frauds. Madame Berenice pretends to be possessed by the dead while Emily covers herself in a white veil, pretending to be a ghost. Une nouvelle vie pour Millie Plume s'inscrit dans la continuité directe du premier opus, Les malheurs de Millie Plume. On y retrouve l'impétueuse héroïne de Jacqueline Wilson dans de nouvelles aventures pleines de rebondissements, de rencontres extraordinaires, de chagrins et de bonheurs inoubliables. Even though this book wouldn't be really categorised as a Romance. I found both Bertie and Jem's relationships with Hetty so cute! I do hope none of them are just playing her and making it seem like they both like her. I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the next book!Sapphire Battersea is the 2011 sequel to Hetty Feather, written by English author Jacqueline Wilson. It is the second installment in the Hetty Feather Trilogy. The story continues where Hetty Feather left off. Hetty, now 14 years old, is discharged from the Foundling Hospital and begins life as a scullery maid.
