About This Book
All's not fair in life and middle School....
Eighth grader Hamlet Kennedy just wants to be normal. But it's not easy with parents who are Shakespearean scholars and dress in Elizabethan costume—in public! And having a genius seven-year-old sister who not only goes to her school but becomes the math tutor doesn't help. Then, as if things could get any worse, the school's Shakespeare project is announced. By the time an in-class recitation reveals that Hamlet is a talented actress, she can no longer hide from the fact that she is anything but average.
