Peters Helen The Secret Hen House Theatre
Since the death of her mother, Hannah’s family life has been somewhat chaotic. Her father is absorbed by running their dilapidated farm, and the four children are increasingly left to their own devices. These include “farming” each room of the house, looking after an enormous pet sheep called Jasper, and writing and directing plays in a disused hen house. But when the farm is threatened with demolition, Hannah determines to save it and realise her dreams at the same time… Shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize, this is a brilliant story of eccentric family life where the children’s imaginations run as free as the farmyard animals. From the award-winning author of Evie’s Ghost, Anna at War, The Farm Beneath the Water and the Jasmine Green series for younger readers, this is perfect for fans of Iva Ibbotson and Philippa Pearce.

Peters Helen The Farm Beneath the Water
Helen Peters’ sequel to The Secret Hen House Theatre has all the same hallmarks: great writing and an emotionally engaging, entertaining story. It’s good to be back with Hannah and the other characters – they’ve been much missed! The novel finds Hannah’s farm facing a new threat – a water company wants to flood the land to make a reservoir. How can Hannah stand by and watch as her home, the land her family has farmed for generations, the wildlife, the ancient trees all disappear under a deluge of water? She isn’t going to go down without a fight, and the school play might just be the answer. When the going gets tough, the tough take to the stage!
