A Midsummer Night's Dork

""What dorks these mortals be."" Such is one of the lessons of sixth-grade life in A Midsummer Night's Dork by Carol Gorman, which follows Dork in Disguise and Dork on the Run. Class president and definitive dork Jerry Flack shifts between numerous humiliations and triumphs while preparing for the Elizabethan festival. The story loosely parallels Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, while also continuing the series' equally Shakespearean ideal of ""to thine own self be true.""
