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.

Review:

Tallulah's wry comments on her life and her dreams are sure to enchant girl readers who will laugh and cry with the spunky, hopeful entertainer."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review)

"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

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 Casey is back and ready to Irish-comedy-dance her way through another term at Dother Hall, but now that she's been officially admitted to the performing arts program, that won't cut it anymore. Especially if she's going to help raise enough money to keep the school from closing at the end of the year.

There are also some . . . distractions to worry about: The boys of Woolfe Academy are lingering about. And they are still boys, so they are still confusing.

Will Tallulah be able to test out her new snogging skills and ace her performance in this term's project, A Midsummer Night's Dream? Only time and more Irish comedy dancing will tell.

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