The fifth and final book in the Blue Door series, which starts with
The Swish of the Curtain, the classic story which inspired actors from
Maggie Smith to Eileen Atkins.
Maddy got up and did her Junior Miss speech, trying not to overdo the
comedy. Her American accent was hideous, and very funny, and all the
class began to giggle.
The whole class clapped when she had finished, and Mr Manyweather roared
with laughter.
'What a little horror!' he cried. 'I've never seen anything so
nauseating, but excellent!'
Maddy is on her own again at the Actors' Guild in London, while the
others work at the Blue Door Theatre. But she's not entirely alone: she
has a new roommate, a new chaperone and an inspiring new teacher, Mr
Manyweather, brought in to introduce students to the very different
world of television.
With these friends, can Maddy survive her first taste of failure - or is
she embarking on her greatest acting adventure yet?
