Synopsis

Louise Rennison, nationally bestselling author of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, returns with another hilarious adventure starring Georgia's cousin Tallulah Casey.

In A Midsummer Tights Dream, Tallulah's second great (mis)adventure, things are starting to look up for the budding star. She has been officially admitted to the Dother Hall performing arts program in Yorkshire. Her corkers have done some developing since last term. And she's picked up some advice on snogging from dear old Georgia. So she's ready to return to the stage--and face her crushes again.

But Tallulah will have more than boy drama to deal with. This term's project is Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Tallulah has been cast as Bottom, the fool who spends most of the play with the head of a donkey. Even worse, if the show isn't a complete success, the school won't have enough money to stay open for another year.

About this title

Review:

"It wouldn't be a Rennison book without plenty of humor, self-deprecation, and literary and musical references. Lullah's adoring fans will not be disappointed by this entertaining ride on "the showbiz express."--The Horn Book

PRAISE FOR WITHERING TIGHTS: "I don't know how, but Louise Rennison has done it again. Tallulah is even funnier, warmer, and sweeter than her cousin Georgia Nicolson. I fell in love with Withering Tights, and you will too!"--Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Abandon series

"A bright, breezy, and very funny take on life. Good fun!"--Booklist

"Absurdity is a key point here, and it's richly delivered by Tallulah's exploits. Ideal for readers seeking a high-spirited silly British romp."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Tallulah is an effervescent protagonist who will keep fans of YA Brit lit laughing until the very end."--Publishers Weekly

"Fans of Georgia Nicolson will be thrilled to meet her cousin Tallulah in Printz Honor-winner Rennison's new madcap melodrama. Undeniably entertaining; Georgia would be pleased."--Kirkus

From the Back Cover:

Performing Arts College, here I come again! Hold on to your tights!! Because I'm holding on to mine, I can tell you.

Tallulah has been officially admitted to Dother Hall, but her Irish dancing won't cut it anymore. Especially if she's going to help raise enough money to keep the school from closing. And she has some other distractions to worry about: The Woolfe Academy boys are lingering about, still as confusing as ever. Will Tallulah be able to test out her new snogging skills and ace her performance in this term's project?

Louise Rennison returns with her trademark sidesplitting humor, sending Tallulah and her mates on another riotously spectacular (mis)adventure.
