This was one of my favorite books in middle school, and I read it mainly for nostalgia’s sake, but did enjoy it again as an adult. This was the book that sparked an obsession with Hamlet, and is the reason why Horatio is forever my favorite. 

Entirely age-appropriate of the YA genre, this is a sweet, strong coming-of-age story that centers a well-know female character who typically goes overlooked.
