Synopsis: Sixth graders Devin and Frankie try to save star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet when they&’re magically transported into Shakespeare&’s classic play. When their teacher assigns Devin and Frankie—short for Francine—the lead roles in their class production of Romeo and Juliet, the two best friends aren&’t thrilled. How are they supposed to say their lines when they don&’t even sound like they were written in English? Luckily, the library&’s magic security gates come to their rescue again, and they leap into Shakespeare&’s famous tragedy. Unfortunately, they land right in the middle of a sword fight between two warring families, the Montagues and the Capulets. When they find out that Romeo Montague has fallen in love with Juliet Capulet, Devin and Frankie decide it&’s up to them to make sure this unlikely couple lives happily ever after. But can they change the book&’s tragic end and save the young lovers from their fate? &“The message that reading is important and can be fun comes through loud and clear,&” writes School Library Journal about the Cracked Classics series. &“The short chapters make this an ideal read-aloud and a treat for reluctant readers.&”
