ROSE RIVERS World of Hetty Feather, Book 2

Narrator Eilidh Beaton's gift with accents will sweep listeners into Victorian times. Rose Rivers is somewhat lost in a bustling household that includes her five siblings, melodramatic mother, and famous father. While she is provided the things due to the daughter of a well-to-do family, she would much rather go to school with her twin, Rupert, or befriend Clover, their new nurserymaid, than be friends with any girl her mother approves of. Beaton differentiates the characters by both age and gender and gives stronger accents to the servants and other characters who are lower class. Thirteen-year-old Rose's conundrums may be enjoyed by the whole family. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
