I'm sorry I didn't do a post for September, but I was away on holiday at the time.
I hope you like reading my new post!
Hetty Feather: By Jacqueline Wilson
Hetty Feather is a Victorian girl, and has never known her Mother, she was taken to the Foundling Hospital when she was very young. After that she lives with a Foster Mother and her other children. When she is taken back to the Foundling Hospital, she really misses her foster family. The staff at the Foundling hospital are mean and cruel to Hetty... and Hetty is determined to find her real Mother.
This book is really exciting... especially the part when she escapes from the Foundling Hospital; and sometimes even quite sad, because you feel sorry for Hetty - but it's funny at the same time! I really enjoyed it!
The World of the Brontës: By Jane O' Neill
Most of the time I write abo
ut fictional books on my blog, but this time I'm writing about a Non Fiction book as well!This book is all about the Brontës' lives, books, and about what it was like in the 19th century.
The Brontës were three sisters, (they also had a brother called Branwell) called Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Charlotte wrote "Jane Eyre", (her most famous novel), Emily wrote "Wuthering Heights" and Anne "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" and "Agnes Grey",
I love reading this book over and over again!
It has a lot of pictures and photos in it, including the famous "Pillar Portrait" of the Brontë Sisters. It has so many interesting facts in it!
It is a really good book, and it encouraged me to read Jane Eyre, which I hope to write about when I've finished it.
Before I read this book I knew nothing about the Brontës, but now I know loads about them!
Chinese Cinderella: By Adeline Yen Mah
"Chinese Cinderella" is the true story of Adeline's childhood, she lived in China in the 1940's.
When she was born her Mother died, so her whole family thinks she's bad luck and she is unwanted.
Some of it is very sad, including the part about Adeline's pet duck, PLT.
But it is a very good book, (it even includes four pages of photos) ,I enjoyed it very much, and it has a happy ending!
I've never read it before, but there is another book by Adeline Yen Mah about her adulthood called "Falling Leaves" which I would really like to read too!
