Stage Fright on a Summer Night (Magic Tree House, #25) by Mary Pope Osborne

Product Details

About the Book

The show must go on! That's what Jack and Annie learn when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to Elizabethan England. Spurred on by another mysterious rhyme from Morgan le Fay, the magical librarian of Camelot, the siblings must find "a special magic" that will, "without wand, spell, or charm, turn daytime into night." Armed only with their backpacks and a book about 16th-century England, Jack and Annie set off to solve the riddle.

There they meet William Shakespeare himself — one of the greatest writers of all time — who happens to be having a hard time with some of the actors in his latest show and is desperate for two small performers to fill in. Luckily for him, Jack and Annie are ready to step onto the stage. Along the way, the siblings manage to save a bear from a cruel fate and make their own stage debut in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," overcoming their stage fright to help save the show.

Reader Reception

Stage Fright on a Summer Night has been praised as a delightful, fun introduction to Shakespeare and Elizabethan theater for young readers, with Osborne including a personal letter explaining that the theater is one of her own passions and that she drew on her own experiences of stage fright to shape Jack and Annie's reactions onstage. The book also includes a list of words and expressions Shakespeare introduced into the English language, and readers have particularly enjoyed the arc of Jack overcoming his fear of performing with the support of his sister.
