The second book in the Blue Door series, following on from The Swish of the Curtain, the classic story which inspired actors from Maggie Smith to Eileen Atkins "I wanted to act before I read this book, and afterwards there was no stopping me" Maggie Smith All that lay ahead were examinations and then the blankness of the holidays. For the hundredth time Maddy thought, 'Oh, why am I only twelve? Why do the others always do all the exciting things before me?' Stuck at home while the older members of the Blue Door Theatre Company attend London's Actors' Guild, Maddy is lonely and frustrated. Under some gentle advice from the Bishop, she finds her way onto the set of a film being shot at a local castle, and works her usual charm on the cast and crew. But will this opportunity realise Maddy's dreams of becoming an actress - or will it end her career before it has even begun? Pamela Brown (1924-1989) was a British writer, actor then television producer. She was just fourteen when she started writing her first book, and the town of Fenchester in the book is inspired by her home town of Colchester. During the Second World War, she went to live in Wales, so The Swish of the Curtain was not published until 1941, when she was sixteen. She used the earnings from the books to train at RADA, and became an actor and a producer of children's television programmes.

MADDY REBELS
Maddy woke up, remembered it was arithmetic this morning, and flung her teddy bear out of the bed on to the floor. Then she turned over and went to sleep again.
“Maddy! Get up! You’re late already and your breakfast is getting cold,” Mrs. Fayne shouted up the stairs for the third time that morning.
“I am getting up.” Maddy pulled the eiderdown over her head, feeling as bad-tempered as an advertisement of night starvation. The thought of her unfinished homework was a weight on her mind, and there was something else – something worse – what was it? Sleepily her thoughts groped for it – Oh, of course! The holidays. The others weren’t coming home. Sandra, her elder sister, had gone to Dramatic School together with their next-door neighbours, the Halfords, Nigel, Bulldog, and Vicky, and Lynette and Jeremy Darwin. Maddy, being too young, was left at home to continue her schooling. For weeks she had looked forward to their return for the Easter holidays, then yesterday she had received a letter from Sandra to say that she was the only one coming. The others were all wanted for a holiday show that their academy were giving.
