A review by readabookbraun
New Boy by Tracy Chevalier

2.0

An adaptation of Othello set in middle school. I was reading to see if it would appeal to my middle school library students and didn't see until after purchase that the publisher's information says the book's audience is adults. I will pass due to some language and content. But unless the reader can still relate to the ins/outs of sixth-grade 'dating' and recess culture I feel it misses the mark.
