Product Description
Book Description
With the rest of the Blue Door company away at drama school, and their theatre temporarily closed, the imminent holidays hold no excitement for Maddy Fayne. But the arrival of a film company in Fenchester, and their unexpected search for a new young leading lady, open up possibilities that Maddy's friends can only dream of.
This novel, the second in the Blue Door series, sees the youngest heroine of The Swish of the Curtain become a star in her own right.

Format:Paperback
I have been waiting to read this for years! my favourite book is swish of the curtain (the first book in the blue door theatre series) and i have been trying for ages to obtain an original copy of Maddy alone. I even badgered the publishers because they released a new edition of the swish of the curtain . the wait was worth it and finally we can read what happens to Maddy now the others have gone to stage school. Lets hope they release the next books soon!

I first read this series of books by Pamela Brown passed down to me from my older sister, we both loved the books and read them many times, and never tired of them. I am now about to purchase a copy for my Granddaughter. I am so pleased to see that these well loved stories are being re-published.

I only discovered the Blue Door series last year. While I have hugely enjoyed "Swish of the Curtain", "Golden Pavements" and "Blue Door Venture", I have to say that Maddy is my least favourite character, and I would not have finished this book if it had not been part of the series.
The author sounds like she is writing from personal experience in the other books (amateur theatre, drama school, rep theatre, TIE tours etc.) but I don't think she knew the first thing about film production when she wrote this, and there is no way any unknown child actress could carry on like a spoilt little madam on a film set and not be fired within minutes. For some reason, Maddie's antics are supposed to be endearing, but maybe that part of things hasn't carried through from the 1940s to today.
But please don't be put off the rest of the series by this book, and please could the rest of the series be published!!! (Yes, I know the final story features Maddy too, but I want to know how the series ends!)

Maddy Alone - Loved It!!
I thought this was an original sequel, although compared to Swish of the Curtain and Golden Pavements it's quite a thin book. Read more

Not satisfied with delivery. Inspite of requesting the product to be delivered before X'Mas, it arrived 4 Days after X'Mas.

Disappointing sequel
I loved The Swish of the Curtain, both when I was little, and when I recently re-read it. It's all terribly unlikely, sure, just as all the similar Noel Streatfield books are, but... Read more
