This book was truly beautiful. So heart-warming I may have cried just a little. This book had some of my all time favourite quotes in it. The power of the message in this story is one I wont be forgetting any time soon.

This is a fantastic read. At first I thought it was a retelling or an homage, an up to date version of the story, but it's actually a sequel. The Pebbles discover that the Fossil children existed, and their search to find out more forms a large part of this novel.
I loved the characters. The husband and husband team of magician and actor, the huge, incredibly clumsy stunt coordinator, even Petunia the door keeper with her ever changing accessories. Everyone was wonderful and they all added something special to this magical tale. The few characters from Ballet Shoes we saw were great, too.
It's not necessary to have read Ballet Shoes...although you should read Ballet Shoes, really...to understand this story; it stands on its own with everything you need to know. You'll miss some of the fum little injokes, but nothing serious.
I wish I could visit the Pebble Theatre. I'd love to see a very special show there. But as is, I'll just read the book over and recommend it to as many people as possible.

This was a lovely book to pick up and read to my six year old. It's also the first chapter based book that she has requested to be read to her each night. The story is an uplifting tale of three kids saving their family theatre and its definitely something I would read again to my little one.

Oh My Days.
This books is amazing, its beautifully written and captivates your attention from beginning to end.
Marigold, Mabel and Morris are such sweet and caring characters. You want them to succeed in everything.
SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!
I thought the way Carrie included the characters from Ballet shoes was very clever and it was so nice.
I liked how everyone was behind Marigold while she was writing the script.
I liked when Morris found out he was good at dancing.
I loved that talk between Marigold and Mabel when Marigold found out about Mabel struggling in Maths.
I loved all the side characters, it was nice finding out a bit about them.
I loved BAM I thought she was very funny and Lydia was so caring.
All in all, I thought it was a beautiful book, well written and so enjoyable.

It may be a book for the young reader but I love reading anything by Carrie and I loved it, as I was reading it felt like I was watching the film that's doesn't exist yet I hope it would be a great film.
