A match-making dream turns into a midsummer night's disaster in this comical Shakespeare-inspired caper.

Nick is truly, madly in love with Jessie Stone. And she doesn't even know his name. In a ploy to win her heart, he plans to star alongside her in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. But when he's cast as the foolish Bottom instead of the romantic lead, his whole world comes crashing down.

Enter Robyn, school mischief-maker, who has some crafty tricks up her sleeve. With her help, Nick is sure he can get Jessie to notice him, just as long as his grand plans don't go up in smoke…

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
