There is a lot of love involved between Jem, but you have to read the book to find out who he marries? After putting together a ventriloquist show and naming themselves the little stars, Hetty learns that it’s actually harder work than it looks. Speaking of my favourites, dear Gideon, for the short time we saw him again, managed to make me love him even more than I already did.

She’s a plucky heroine and this fifth book about her trials and triumphs will appeal to intermediate-age readers who enjoy an entertaining historical novel. I surprisingly managed to read this book in a single day - a first ever to read a book in a single day, and it wasn't a terrible experience If I can say. I don't know if Jacqueline Wilson is planning on writing another volume in this series (I greatly hope she will), but if she does, I would very much like to see Hetty and Diamond in a much stable place by the end of it. 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. I don't know, but it rubbed me the wrong way in book 3, and it did that much more so here, resulting in the 'sainted' Jem becoming a fallen angel in my books, a shattered ideal, much like he was to Hetty.This is still the ambitious and determined foundling I fell in love reading about, but in a way I couldn't relate to her. When Mona Smith, Mr Benjamin, Marcella, Roland, Esmeralda, Bruno and Ambrose go to the Empire Exhibition at Wembley, after all the rides Ambrose complains that they need to go somewhere more peaceful, so the group visits the Pear's Palace of Beauty, where several models played historical figures. Hetty travels to Bignor on the train and meets a middle-class family, the Greenwiches, and helps look after their baby, Flora, while travelling.

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. He has won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. Fifteen-year-old Hetty Feather and eight-year-old Diamond have escaped from Tanglefield’s Travelling Circus. The Illustrated Mum won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award, the 1999 Children’s Book of the Year at the British Book Awards and was also shortlisted for the 1999 Whitbread Children’s Book Award. I also love the developing relationship between Bertie and Hetty, and the brilliant lack of 'instalove'.

Indeed, it sort of feels as if years have passed since the beginning of this book, and even more so since the beginning of the series (which is actually absolutely true in-universe), and while I'm still my old self, it's almost as if I've changed along with Hetty and her rich gallery of friends and found family. I love how we get to visit old characters and see where they are and what they are doing (although some characters don't have happy endings). The other characters, no matter how small their role, are deftly and deeply portrayed, from the landlady, Ms. Emerald Star was definitely my least favourite (But I did really like Lizzie's character which made up for the fact the rest of it was a bit rubbish) I love Sapphire Battersea and I love Little Stars but It's hard to have a favourite as it's really just one massive book.

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. Ida eventually dies and Hetty insists that she can pay for her funeral, and stays until she's paid back Freda for her contribution. At first, I didn't think Hetty becoming an actress was the right job, but I quickly realised that Hetty enjoyed it thoroughly, Diamond not so much, but she was still adorable.

As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children's Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children's Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker.
