Stage Fright on a Summer Night: The Magic Treehouse Series #25

By:
Mary Pope Osborne

 

This book is about two children who went to England in their tree house, & experienced stage magic for their first time.

 

Annie is a really curious girl.  She is nine.

 

Jack is really smart & he is Annie's big brother.  He is ten.

 

Morgan le Fay has magic, "with out a wand, spell, or charm."  She is fifty.  She always takes Jack & Annie on an adventure in every book.  Will Shakespeare asked them to be onstage.  Will lives in Merry Olde[1] England.

 

Jack & Annie saw a shooting star & they followed it like the three rings and it ended in a forest.  The shooting-star turned into a tree house and their Morgan le Fay was there.  Jack and Annie have not seen her in a long time.  Morgan said: To find a special, you must step into light, and without wand, spell, or charm turn daytime into night.  Morgan sent them to Merry Olde England but first the tree house spun & spun and they stopped at Merry Olde England.  Jack & Annie walked & stopped to read a sign. The sign said that there was a play so Jack & Annie went in the theater.  Jack took his notebook & read that the first theaters were built in old England & the better seats cost more money.  A man heard Jack & walked over to him.  His name was Will.  Jack didn't want to go but Annie did but Will said there was NO girls allowed.  Since Jack didn't want to go, Will showed Jack around.

 

Will took them on stage.  First Jack went on stage then Annie.  While Annie was on stage she danced.  Jack started to like being on stage. Jack and Annie snuck out and saw a bear that was in a cage and that was a wrestling bear.  Annie stole the bear because Annie thought that the bear was too cute so she dressed the bear up then the owner of the bear ran up and argued about the bear.  After the owner got the bear Jack and Annie went to their tree house and went back home.

 

I loved the book because I love Magic tree house books.
