YA
Part of a high school production of Romeo and Juliet, this novel's four main characters are really acting out A Midsummer's Night Dream. Dmitri's need to have what rival Alex has sets off a chain of events that parallels the romantic entanglements in Shakespeare's play. Sutherland's set up is believable; she handles especially well the role of the irate, uncompromising father.
