<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a novel every bit as funny as her debut, "Models Don't Eat Cookies," Dionne has created another eighth grader whose situation is utterly unique--but whose foibles and farces are sure to resound with every girl currently suffering through middle school.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>All Hamlet Kennedy wants is to be a normal eighth grader. But with parents like hers - Shakespearean scholars who actually dress in Elizabethan regalia . . . in public! - it's not that easy. As if they weren't strange enough, her genius seven-year-old sister will be attending her middle school, and is named the new math tutor. Then, when the Shakespeare Project is announced, Hamlet reveals herself to be an amazing actress. Even though she wants to be average, Hamlet can no longer hide from the fact that she- like her family - is anything but ordinary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An excellent choice for middle school readers. -<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Erin Dionne</b> is an assistant professor of liberal arts at a small college north of Boston, where she teaches freshman comp, lit classes, and some creative writing electives.

She lives with her husband and daughter in Framingham, Massachusetts.
