The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet by Erin Dionne

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


There's no indecisiveness in this Hamlet; she knows exactly what she wants to be: normal, unnoticed, average. But it's hard when her parents are prominent Shakespearean professors who LIVE the part in their daily lives (they don't even use contractions!) and her little sister, Desdemona, is a genius (seriously - already taking college level courses). Hamlet maintains a sense of normalcy at school, but then 8th grade comes, her sister is attending her school and to make matters worse, her PARENTS are helping with a Shakespeare unit! What could be worse? I enjoyed the Shakespeare quotes and references. Other than that, its your basic YA Chick Book. It was a fun read.
