Rock Bottom: A Midsummer Nightmare

Description

Nick is truly, madly in love with Jessie Stone. But she doesn't even know his name. So in a ploy to win her heart, he plans to star alongside her in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. But when Nick is cast as the foolish Bottom instead of a romantic leading man, his whole world comes crashing down. Enter Robyn, school mischief-maker, who has some crafty tricks up her sleeve. With her help, when opening night rolls around, Nick is sure he can still succeed - until, one by one, his grand plans start to go up in smoke.
