When I first opened the Hetty Feather book, written by Jacqueline Wilson, and saw that it was full of words like Matron-Stingking-Bottomly, my immediate reaction was a refusal to be impressed; on the contrary, I felt like being inside the whale, like Jonah in the Old Testament of the Bible. Hearing teens in the book swear or use profane language toward other characters can be horrifying.
Perhaps one might say that the author explains here that if we have children who are consistently docile and trying to please us, we might have children who are not accomplishing some of the necessary developmental work of adolescence: finding their own identity. Anyway, CBBC loved it! They loved this gang-show feel so much that they began to wonder if Hetty Feather could work for them in the longer term. Who knows? After all, Hannah Brown played Hetty brilliantly. But.. the old unshakeable comfort of childhood had gone... with the author of this bestseller. The great continent once affiliated with fond memories of childhood had sunk like Atlantis. It is sea and islands now!

"I certainly hate my sister Lulu Angel Wink. She is only two years older than me. But she's dinky-looking and she talks in a special lispy baby voice. It really sucks so that everyone treats her like crazy. She's sneaky too. I don't want to be mean but she tried coming to school in my bedroom slippers one day." (Jacqueline Wilson)
