Bye-bye Summer!

The Summer Games are over and what a spectacular show it was! A big round of applause not only to the great Olympians, but to the scores of organizers, performers, and volunteers who made it all happen! So starts the l00000ng, four year wait for the 2012 Olympics, to be staged in merry ol' London town!

And while you're waiting, write finis to your Olympic Saga with a taste of Elizabethan in Mary Pope Osborne's Stage Fright on a Summer Night (Magic Tree House #25). Share the stage with Jack and Annie as they become actors in Shakespeare's immortal fairy tale, Midsummer Night's Dream. Better yet, try out your own thespian skills and read the original! And remember, take fashion notes on those fantastic, over-the-top costumes (A True Tudygirl never passes up a chance to play dress up!)! London

So lose the stage fright and get into the act! Stage Fright on a Summer Night and Midsummer Night's Dream are perfect ways to bid adieu to all things summer!
