Charley Feather

by Kate Pennington

When the notorious Dick Turpin is hanged, Charlie Feather is watching and learning. At just fourteen years of age, Charley, an apprentice highwayman, knows that betrayal is common and that a short, brutal life may come to a sudden end on the steps of the gallows. Abandoned at birth, shunted from one "foster mother" to another, streetwise Charley trusts no one—especially when there are dark secrets to keep.

[Kirsten · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book the first time when I was 8 and I loved it. Even though I am normally not a fan of reading a book again or watching a film a second time I re-read this great book - twice.
It tells the story of a brave girl that breaks all prejudices. I really recommend it, it's for every age.

I thought Charley was an amazing book. I have read it and re-read it because I loved it so much. It has great twists and I would recommend it to everyone.
