The Swish of the Curtain: Blue Door 1 by Pamela Brown

4.0

It's hard to know quite what to do with this one. The writing is charming, but it's dated enough that I have no idea if it would hold the attention of a modern American kid. Three sets of siblings befriend each other in 1940's England. After one breaks the window of an old church building accidentally, they turn it into a theater where they can sing, dance, act etc., all having different talents. Of course, their families are opposed to stage careers, and their school certificates are looming. I enjoyed Maddy, the youngest, and all her mischief. BBC, please make this a season or two on Masterpiece.
