AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Funny, shocking and brilliant- from bestselling author R. A. Spratt, a whip-smart take on Shakespearean moral dilemmas

'Selby hates homework.

'She would rather watch daytime television - anything to escape the tedium of school, her parents' bookshop and small-town busybodies.

'So Selby didn't plan to read Hamlet. She certainly never planned to meet him.

'This novel transports Selby, and the reader, into the cold and crime-ridden play itself. Here she meets Hamlet- heavy with grief, the young prince is overthinking and over everything. Selby can relate. But unlike Hamlet, Selby isn't afraid of making decisions. In her world, Selby is used to feeling overlooked. But in the bloody, backstabbing world of Shakespeare, Selby's good conscience and quiet courage might just save some lives . . . hopefully before Hamlet stabs one of her classmates.'(Publication summary)
