Emerald Star

'I am Emerald . . . Star,' I announced, giving birth to my new self right that moment.

Brave, feisty Hetty Feather is back on another fantastic adventure!

Since leaving the Foundling Hospital, Hetty has seen her fair share of drama, excitement, tragedy and loss. After the death of her beloved mama, she sets off to find a real home at last - starting with the search for her father.

But Hetty is no longer a simple country girl, and begins to fear she'll never truly belong anywhere. And even when she is reunited with her beloved childhood sweetheart Jem, Hetty still longs for adventure - especially when an enchanting figure from her past makes an unexpected reappearance. Could a more exciting future lie ahead for Hetty?

A brilliant end-of-series novel, the sort with just the right amount of tragedy, love, adventure and excitement. - The Guardian
