Romeo and Juliet, Together (And Alive!) At Last

At the elementary school my boys went to, the fifth grade teacher always had them perform a Shakespeare play. Mind, it wasn't the full length play, (Hamlet takes more than three hours to do) but a twenty five minute version of it. There was always something rather funny about it, and it wasn't just because the lines were funny. It's hard to be too serious with a eleven year old Hamlet. Anyway, remembering that gave me the notion to write this book.
