From three-time Newbery Honor author Zilpha Keatley Snyder, "an
adventure story with a lot to say about identity, ambition, and
character" (Kirkus Reviews).
After a year living with Aunt Fiona, William is off to audition for the
role of Puck in a summer production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. But
getting the part is just the beginning. Now William has to deal with a
jealous rival out to sabotage him, a not-so-secret admirer, and the way
the Baggetts still haunt him in nightmares. William's summer is filled
with acting and costumes and applause, but he still worries sometimes
that he and his younger siblings will never be able to shake off the
past. But when the Baggetts show up again, William realizes that he is
braver than he thought, and that all will turn out okay.
