#hetty feather

What if, when you were only a few days old, your birth mother had to give you up and you were instead given to a foster family but you were taken from them as well five years later to live in an abusive institution and then got locked in an attic all day and night for standing up for your only friend but then she got taken away and you found your birth mother but then she got taken away again as well and then you got a job but your boss exploited your work and fired you after you found out and then you found your mother again but then you had to hold her as she choked to death on her own blood and then you found your father but then your foster father died and you had to return for his funeral but no one recognised you and then you ran away to the circus and then you ran away from the circus with a girl you call your sister but who you're really more like a mother to at this point even though you're 16 at the very most and then you start working in a music hall but you got assaulted by another person working there and then you got fired for being assaulted and also sort of kicked out by your landlady.

After my full reread of the entire Hetty Feather extended universe, I give you my final ranking of all the books and protagonists.
