This book was great, my 7-year-old daughter really enjoyed it. The book successfully introduces kids to historical facts about Shakespeare and his theater, while also having a fun story about Jack and Annie and their adventures in "merry olde England". We eagerly await the next installment in the Magic Tree House series!

Ms. Mary Pope Osborne's "Stage Fright on a Summer Night" was very enjoyable to read, but the other books like "Mummies in the Morning" and "Dingoes before Dinnertime" were indeed true classics. The most funniest part in this amusing book was the fact that Queen Elizabeth's teeth were black from too much sugar!! I highly recommend this book for first and second graders to read, but make sure you start from book one, "Dinosaurs before Dark". "Christmas in Camelot" is the greatest book of all in the "Magic Tree House" books, so read that along with "Stage Fright on a Summer Night"! Beginning readers, prepare to be totally AMAZED!!

Stage Fright on a Summer Night by Mary Pope Osborne is a wonderful book for children. In this Magic Tree House book Jack and Annie travel back in time to Olde England and meet William Shakespeare as they are look for the magic to turn daytime in to night. In the book they the children learn about the city of London, the London Bridge and the theater in William Shakespeare's time.
Mrs. Osborne has a great way of making her readers feel as if they are actually in Olde England with Jack and Annie. She also gives her readers just enough just enough historical facts that the readers are learning without know that they are. They think that they are just having fun reading a good book. I also liked the way Mrs. Osborne included quotes from Shakespeare's plays and then at the end of the book told in what plays the reader could find these. A long with the quotes Mrs. Osborne also included a list of words that Shakespeare had invented and that we still use today. I think that this is a great for young readers to see. With both the quotes and the word list in the back of the book I think this would be a great book for a teacher to use in his/her classroom to introduce both London and William Shakespeare to students.

Osborne does it again for the young set. My six-year-old daughter is NUTS about this series and we snatch up the books as soon as they hit the bookstore. This one was especially nice because it wasn't overly scary like some of the previous ones in the series, but managed to teach about theatre and "Merry Olde England"

Dear all the people who want this book,

I have read almost ALL of the magic Tree House Series!
I'm going to read #32 Winter of the Ice Wizard, and
#29 Christmas at Camolot.
It will be fun. This is a book which is 100% exciting and so cool!!!!!!

My seven year old loves reading these books over and over again. While she is enjoying the books, she is learning about different places and times in history. She's learned about the Amazon, the wild west, hawaii, the civil and revolutionary wars, the middle ages, ocean mammals, and so much more. I highly recommend the whole series.

I loved Stage Fright on a Summer Night.It's about to kids,Annie andJack who go back in time to London.While they're in London they meet William Shakespear who askes them to cover for to faries(who are really two boys.)Jack and Annie agree to cover for two faries.But Jack gets stage fright and tries not to show it,but in the end he forgets his fear and was fabulous! William Shakespear thanked them and said good bye.

I think you should read this book because it has funny facts in it.
I like the book because Queen Elizabeth's teeth were black from eating too much sugar.
I like William Shakespeare's nickname Will.

My 1st grader hates to put it down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. In his kindergarten class the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books out loud, not to give her a break, but to promote reading out loud. Great books!
