A review by dianeaxu
The Secret Hen House Theatre by Helen Peters
4.0
OK, so...I liked this book. It was cute and quite well written.
[warning: this review contains spoilers]
Things I liked:
I loved Hannah's character, how she was trying to become better, how she was taking care of "the beans", how she belived in herself, how she was trying to help the farm and her father. I liked it when she punched Jack even if he didn't vandalize her theatre. That's exactly what I'd do (or what I think I'd do) if someone told me bad things about my father. I also liked Lottie (she was such a good friend for Hannah) and her mum (the way she comforted Hannah makes me think that she somehow replaced Hannah's own mother). I liked Hannah's dad too, even if he didn't want Hannah to have a theatre in the first place. I'm glad he changed his mind. The Beans were super funny and cute. I was very happy when I found out that Emily is not as mean as Miranda and she actually helped Hannah. But...I think that I liked Jasper the most. I don't know why, don't judge me. It seems pretty cool to me. Danny was so horrible and the things he said to Hannah were just...so mean, I hate him. Martha is a selfish ten-year-old who thinks that the world is spinning around her. I hated her too. About Jack I don't know what to think anymore. I think that...he's a good person inside but he spent too much time with Carr.
Some things were a bit predictable.
What I also liked was that The Secret Hen House Theatre didn't win the competition, as they shoud've in any other book. It would have been very unrealistic if Hannah and her friends would've win against Miranda's theatre because Miranda had ages of experience behind. (Again, don't judge me)
"The Secret Hen House Theatre" was pretty enjoyable :))
