Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story

246 pp. | Holt | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-7500-3 $16.95
(2) YA In this Romeo and Juliet retelling, Rosaline recounts the story from her perspective. What makes this work is the author's command of Shakespearean language, syntax, and wordplay, allowing her to develop her funny, proto-feminist protagonist within the drama's strictures. The plot hiccups a bit as it lurches to the end, but readers will find Rosaline believable and appealing.
