Impossible!

Impossible!

Author(s): Michelle Magorian

Location(s): London

Genre(s): Children

Era(s): 1960s

A compelling story of London’s theatre world at the start of the 60s as 12-year old Josie tries to find success as an actress. She attends a finishing-style stage school and dreams of being on stage, but is firmly told she has no acting ability.

Fortunately Josie finds herself cast as a boy in an American comedy – but she is mistaken for the star, kidnapped and imprisoned in a dockside warehouse. Managing to escape, she and a fellow runaway take refuge in the Theatre Royal in Stratford, where they’re offered work by the legendary Joan Littlewood. Much to Josie’s surprise, this leads to a role in a Saturday morning film. But the kidnappers haven’t given up yet and they are on Josie’s trail…

Impossible! is a story that will keep readers enthralled chapter by chapter as the drama unfolds – rather like the film that Josie is in.
