I was absolutely thrilled to see the "Swish of the Curtain" books back in print, and I loved reading about the further adventures of Maddy in this one. I missed the rest of the Blue Doors (who have all gone to theatre school, leaving Maddy alone in Fenchester, and understandably bored and frustrated), but Maddy is such a quirky and funny character that she almost makes up for the loss of the rest of the group. The reappearance of the Bishop and Mrs Potter-Smith added to the fun, and on the whole this is a lovely sequel to one of my favourite books.
