Format:Paperback
Sorrel, Mark and Holly, three children who, believing they are orphans are sent to live with Margaret Shaw, a renowned actress who happens to be their grandmother, and Alice, her queer but enjoyable maid. Immediately, the children are enrolled in an academy for acting. At first, none of the three like this idea. But before long each one of them finds their hidden talents and acting flair. And, they meet their two cousins, the spunky and sweet Miriam, and the snobby and selfish Miranda. This lovely and well written story will capture many young readers' hearts with its theater adventure and family charm.

Format:Paperback
I first read Theater Shoes at age eight. Since then, I have read it at least twice a year. I still enjoy the suspenseful activites of the Warren family, still wish the best of luck to the Forbes trio, and still cry at the same points in the book that I did nearly twenty years ago. An excellent read for any mother and daughter to share.

This is, as other reviewers have said, an excellent book, which I highly recommend. However, be aware that it's a retitled version; it was originally published as 'Curtain Up' or 'Other People's Shoes'. Make sure you're not buying a duplicate!

Charming, simple fare
I admit that I have never quite outgrown children's books, of which this is definitely one. It is set in England in 1942-43 and is about three children named Sorrel, Mark and... Read more
