This book was hard for me to read at first, but once I read along with the audio book, I just could not put it down.

Sapphire is the new life of Hetty, the same person, just with a different name. She travels to her business with Mr Buchanan, the hateful 'monkey-man', and sets off for walks each Sunday after church with the butcher's boy Bertie. He takes her to beautiful and marvellous places - the river, the fair and all sorts. But can Sapphire (Hetty) possibly survive alone? ( )

I love the adventure and mystery in this book. I love the way that she changes her name from Hetty Feather to Sapphire Battersea to change her identity. Sapphire Battersea gets help along the way to find her sick mother but she finds out her real father too living with a different family. She also is a servant for a posh, old man and goes to church with the other two servants every Sunday. She sets off for more adventures. ( )

Brilliant for year 5/6/7/8 girls - a different trilogy to the style of Jacqueline Wilson's family or teen dramas - this one historical fiction and very well done. ( )
