Starcrossed in "Romeo and Juliet"

(4) 4-6 Fakespeare series. Illustrated by Daniel Jennewein. Two fifth graders find themselves sucked into Shakespeare plays and must help complete the story before they can return to their own lives. Warring pizza-making families (Romeo and Juliet) and kings launching stink bombs to obscure evil acts (Hamlet) take center stage in these wacky riffs on the Bard's works. The frenetic stories are filled with juvenile humor and childlike cartoon drawings. Review covers these Fakespeare titles: Something Stinks in Hamlet and Starcrossed in Romeo and Juliet.
