The future of the school is in jeopardy when its stuffy owner, Lord Covington, decides to sell it. With Pepito's help (the devilish son of the Spanish Ambassador who lives next door), the resourceful Madeline hatches a plot to save their beloved home, but along the way the children encounter some bumbling would-be kidnappers on a visit to the circus. It's up to the indomitable Miss Clavel to come to their rescue. [More]

Reviews for Madeline
A disarming, charming fable so artfully crafted that adults will fall under its spell.
...Adequately simple for children, though perhaps a bit pedestrian for adults.
In Madeline's final adventure, she uses her spunk and creativity in the service of compassion.
No horribly arch double entendres to draw in audiences who can’t spend two hours in a theater without having their libido massaged.
