Description of  A Midsummer Tights Dream (Misadventures of Tallulah Casey)

And while a large part of this book is pure comedy, there's a lot of classic coming of age moments as well. She learns really quick what it's like to fall for someone who's in love with someone else. She learns that she's really good at pretending that she doesn't care what people think of her. And as the title suggests, the first school term focuses on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Talllulah is asked to play Bottom because the higher-ups in school who see Tallulah as "trouble" know that she's okay making a fool of herself in public. She actually goes on stage in furry tights and Mickey Mouse ears to do an Irish donkey dance...And the audience loved every second of it. Dother Hall is having some financial problems. And there are notes all over the building asking students not do things (like shower) too often. And between all the fairy dances and play preparations, there are a lot of financial worries. One of Tallulah's friends actually leaves school because someone in Hollywood hires her! There's a lot to learn about snogging, licking, boyfriends, journaling, and friendship. And I kind of like that Tallulah doesn't have a boyfriend yet. She doesn't have to have one (though she'd like to).
