My thanks to Steerforth Press/Pushkin Press and NetGalley for a review copy of this book.
Maddy Alone is the second book in Pamela Brown’s Blue Door series. Something that makes 'Maddy Alone' stand out from a lot of old children's books is the lack of message; the book is not at all preachy, no one improves themself, and Maddy is not an angel. She feels real, naughty and occasionally she's not sorry for it.

Oh, how I loved Maddy Alone! Those who read my first review of this series for The Swish of the Curtain, might remember that I said that the author must have plans for Maddy. Did she ever! This book is ALL about Maddy – just as the title suggests – and it's all very exciting. What a whirlwind! You might remember, if you read that review, how disappointed I was for Maddy's sake at all the characters clearly undervaluing her and her talent in book one. I had high hopes for Maddy's character arc. And the author did not disappoint! As I predicted, the second Blue Doors book is strictly about Maddy, and does she ever make a splash!
Go Maddy. You go girl!
