(3) YA In this retelling of Hamlet from Ophelia's point of view, Ophelia uses Juliet's trick with poison to fake her death in order to save herself and Hamlet's unborn child. Overlooking the discrepancies between Klein's version and Shakespeare's, this proves to be a compelling novel with a human, flawed, and very independent main character.
