Jacqueline Wilson returns to her feisty heroine Hetty Feather in this story of drama, excitement and adventure.

Since leaving the Foundling Hospital, Hetty has faced tragedy and loss as well as excitement and adventure. After the death of her beloved mama, she sets off to find a real home and begins a search for her father. This brings her to a new life working as a fisher-girl.

But Hetty still longs for adventure – even when she is contacted by her childhood sweetheart, Jem, so when an enchanting figure from her past makes an unexpected reappearance, Hetty has to decide what kind of future she wants
