    About this ebook

    Hamlet could NEVER make his mind up about ANYTHING. And one time he actually went to school in just his pants and got sent home because he couldn't decide what to wear.

    When Izzy (star of The Spy Who Loved School Dinners) is asked to tell her friends some HILARIOUS and SCARY stories she knows exactly where to look: Shakespeare, the king of SUPER dramatic stuff. After learning about Macbeth (a STRONG solider who ate four bowls of porridge and twenty pieces of toast every morning) her friends want more. So Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet all get the Izzy treatment. There's blood and guts, ghosty stuff, and plenty of people wandering around in their nighties. The perfect introduction to the Bard!

    Izzy's version of Macbeth originally appeared on the BBC Radio series 'Shakespeare Retold', read by actress Shirley Henderson (who played Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films!).

      A spin off book from the usual Izzy books, where four Shakespeare stories (Hamlet, Macbeth, Dream and R&J) are told by Izzy in her usual style, with some very light wrap-around of the lives of Izzy and the gang. Fun, quick to read and enjoyable, if you want to read Shakespeare plots in Butchart's charactoristic style you will like these. I didn't think the additional flourishes* quite worked though, they felt contrived and a bit pointless, but I guess if you're writing Yet Another Shakespeare Retelling you're going to want to try and do something novel with it.*Things like Oberon and Titania are arguing over a cat, and Titania gets to keep the cat, the Capulets and Montigues are feuding over a hoover, and Hamlet is always equivocating over going to the toilet (and wees himself when fighting with Laertes)
