Fun, quick novel. Good interaction between the PTA and the drama teacher although I don’t think there was ever a group of parents this large that was involved in what happens at the school.
Fun portrayal of Shakespeare’s Cursed play and the witches doing the cursing

Cursed. High school drama teacher Paul Sampson believes his troubles are mundane, but little does he suspect that Macbeth is known as The Cursed Play for a very good reason. It ‘is’ cursed.
The cast of characters is substantial, and well fleshed out, but the witches steal the show. They bring a laugh with every scene and I’ll never see Dairy Queen in the same way ever again. They need their own book. They really do.
Randy McCharles spins a great yarn, and this is no exception. He blends the familiar with the supernatural, family values with societal intolerance, and the funny with the more serious. I love that there are strong, yet subtle messages, underlying the book - you can’t please everyone, kids are smarter than you give them credit for, and it’s never too late to change your ways or make amends.
Pick it up, you won’t be disappointed.
