This was delightful. My daughters and I all enjoyed it! The plot was well-paced and was captivating to the very end. The characters were charming and developed. This is one we'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

A real thrill to go back to my childhood favorite and read this unknown book! Thank you!! Any child who has read the ballet books should find this book appealing as well... and any parents or grandparents who loved those books will love sharing it with them.

In this continuation of Thursday's Child by Noel Streatfield, Margaret Thursday pursues her dream of stardom, landing a part in a well-known London theater. Unfortunately, word travels quickly and she soon finds herself being followed by an old enemy. Will Margret and her friends be able to outwit Matron before it's too late? Or will Margaret's dreams be taken away from her?

I was thrilled to see this book being published after reviewing the first title in the series. Streatfield has a wonderful talent for writing well-paced novels. The characters are believable and endearing. The story is filled with adventure and twists. The plot is clean while still being engaging. I just love the style of this author. In a market saturated with ill-formed characters and low morals, Streatfield's writing stands above and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to share this one with any of my kids from ages 9 to early teens. This will be a title that we'll enjoy again and again.

I saw this book while scrolling for Historical Romances, but I love a good children's book every now and then, especially since I haven't seen a Historical children's book before. Margaret's backstory was a bit confusing to understand at the beginning, but it was a fun and easy read, and I definitely would have read this when I was younger.

A beautiful continuation of Thursdays Child. Set in Londons old world theater, the reader gets to continue Margaret Thursdays journey.
Nora Streatfeild should be a go to author for any fan children's novels.. Far to Go is wonderfully written, with loveable characters, and fun adventures.
