(4) YA For a class, fifteen-year-old Robert dons a dress and plays a Shakespearean heroine opposite his crush, Milena, who is acting the male role. The experience is emotionally liberating, and Robert is drawn to explore his female side. The subject of cross-gender issues is provocative and groundbreaking, but the plot of this import hinges on too many contrivances and Robert's complex problems seem too easily resolved.
