The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet by Erin Dionne

3.0

This is cute. As an adult who knows several Shakespearean scholars, I find it pretty far-fetched that two professors are that over-the-moon about Willy the Shake that they would wear period dress everyday. Middle-graders wouldn't know that, however, and would identify with Hamlet's embarrassment at being anywhere near her family like any other self-respecting eighth grader.

This is a very nice story about a girl who learns to accept her own talents and her own family for who the are. The writing is quite good.
