But don’t just take our word for it! Here are some of the EXTRAORDINARY reviews that Helen’s first book received:

“There is something timeless about Helen Peters’s accomplished and hugely engaging debut novel … Drawn with humour and affection, Hannah’s world is utterly convincing.” — The Guardian

“Full of action, with a happy ending, this is a book I didn’t want to finish.” — Michael Morpurgo

“As a child I loved The Swish of the Curtain, and The Secret Hen House Theatre is another engaging book about threatened amateur dramatics.” — Julia Donaldson

“A hugely enjoyable story of family, friendship and country life” — Booktrust

“One of my favourite summer reads: a contemporary adventure with secrets, wonderful characters and lots of heart. Dreamy girls will love the drama-competition plot, with nostalgic echoes of The Swish of the Curtain” — The Bookseller
