Midsummer Knight

Such a cute story! I remember being fascinated by this book in the series in particular because of the cute fairies and the beautifully-illustrated fantasy world (and the humor...) and it was nice to reread it again years later!

A fantastic story about traveling to fantasy worlds and finding a side of yourself you didn't know existed. As a wordless graphic novel, this is accessible to all readers.

Not sure if this any real connection to the actual play by Shakespeare, but it's lots of fun anyway. I am glad I got these at the library though - I don't recommend buying either this sequel or [b:The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard|1417813|The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard|Gregory Rogers|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183432896s/1417813.jpg|1408185].
