An enjoyable cream-puff of a story, Midge Bennett at Duncan Hall features a winsome heroine - friendly but plain-spoken, kind-hearted and utterly lacking in any snobbery - that is the epitome of "girl-next-door" appeal, and an engaging set of secondary characters, from the silly and rather snooty Adele, who has a good heart underneath it all, to the jolly Tin, always ready to take Midge's part, while also seeing the humor in her various predicaments. The school setting is fun, but so are the various holidays adventures - the ski trip to New Hampshire, the Christmas and Easter visits with the Bennett family in Brooklyn - and although there is the tension of Midge's impending departure from Duncan Hall, so soon after she has come to love it, the reader can never really be in much doubt that things will turn out well. This is, after all, a teen novel from the 1950s (published in 1953), and has, in addition to lots of slang from the era, that lighthearted sense of optimism that seems to characterize children's literature from that decade. Recommended to reader looking for American school stories, and to fans of 50s young adult books! ( )
