Little Stars (Hetty Feather)

Product Information

This is the final book in the Hetty Feather series, following: Hetty Feather, Hetty Feathers Christmas, Sapphire Battersea, Emerald Star and Diamond. Although, as aforementioned, a tad abrupt, the ending to this book and Hetty's story is definitely a satisfying one.

When exactly was unclear to me, which occasionally felt like a shortcoming, but most of the time I did not mind. Yes, Gid, smash those pointless gender roles and stick to your quilting and gardening and whatever brings joy to that poor shellshocked heart of yours.When a Christmas tableau is discussed, Hetty wishes to be an angel, but instead Monica and Gideon were chosen, though Hetty thinks that Gideon suits the roll. Starring a cast of wonderful characters, both old favourites and new, this is the fifth fabulous Hetty Feather story. I don't quite know how to put it, but I've found her a most interesting specimen, perhaps even more so than in her own POV book. Soon the girls are famous and after four other books, you should know, there's no stopping Hetty Feather!

There’s drama, peril, sadness, a budding romance and happy times skilfully woven into the fabric of Hetty’s story. Follow Hetty on her hard journey as she struggles to look after 8 year old Diamond, who just longs for a normal childhood. Even though I've read this before the last three books felt new to me as I couldn't remember a thing that happened - even when I was reading it so it felt like I was reading it for the first time. His lurking presence is a good lesson, I think, especially for the older readers who are probably reading this independently. Instead they stay with a seamstress and work on a new act, a parody of the ventriloquist dummy act in the show, using a penny-farthing that they stole from the circus.Seeing as this is the last book in the series (for now, I really hope we get more) I thought I would review the series as a whole instead of just the individual book. The book was average, it wasn't something that will stick with me - unlike the rest of this series which I adore and will stand my favourite series from as a child, which I did absolutely relish when reading them. I don't think that Diamond likes change because it's hard for her to get used to different things at such a young age.

The relationship between Hetty and Diamond is so touching and you just know they will be together forever as sisters. Starring a cast of wonderful characters, both old favourites and new, this is the fifth fabulous Hetty Feather story.

She becomes the new ringmaster and sews new costumes for Mr Tanglefield, the performing monkeys, and Diamond. Some good points is that the story overall was great, Hetty going and performing at a musical hall was not what I expected, especially with poor Diamond but that is what Jacqueline Wilson gave us and I am not disappointed, it even gave Hetty and Bertie time to catch up again and see their relationship bloom again like it did in the second book, I liked the idea of Hetty and Bertie in the end getting together and while the ending of little star's seem to hint that they do I would still love to see more of it. As she was running back to the girl's wing, Gideon managed to speak for the first time since being taken there. There, her child was christened Hetty Feather and was given to Peg Cotton's family to be cared for until it was time for her to go back. Little Stars is the fifth book in the Hetty Feather series by Jacqueline Wilson, and I think that it is a great way to end the series.

The author describes the countryside and the scrumptious cooking there and a bawdy audience in a music hall with equal panache. Hetty declares that she and Diamond will become music hall artistes after noticing the name "Flirty Bertie" (her old sweetheart Bertie's desired stage name) among the acts for the Cavalcade. It's obvious that he still has feelings for Hetty and did not want to get married, instead wanting to run away with Hetty, but Hetty forces him to get married which makes an unhappy story for Jem, which I find sad as I really saw them having a chance.

This book had the usual adventure with twists and turns for a Hetty Feather book, as well as included more romance! He has won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. Either way I have heard Hetty makes a couple of appearances in a couple of newer books that take place during this similar time period. I absouloutly love this series, I loved it the first time I ever read it (this was a re-read) and I managed to force a few friends to read it too.
