Saving Hamlet
Saving Hamlet | Molly Booth
Emma Allen couldn't be more excited to start her sophomore year. Not only is she the assistant stage manager for the drama club's production of Hamlet, but her crush Brandon is directing, and she's rocking a new haircut that's sure to get his attention. But soon after school starts, everything goes haywire. Emma's promoted to stage manager with zero experience, her best friend Lulu stops talking to her, and Josh--the adorable soccer boy who's cast as the lead--turns out to be a disaster. It's up to Emma to fix it all, but she has no clue where to start. One night after rehearsal, Emma stays behind to think through her life's latest crises and distractedly falls through the stage's trap door . . . landing in the basement of the Globe Theater. It's London, 1601, and with her awesome new pixie cut, everyone thinks Emma's a boy--even Will Shakespeare himself. With no clue how to get home, Emma gamely plays her role as backstage assistant to the original production of Hamlet, learning a thing or two about the theater, and meeting an incredibly hot actor named Alex who finds Emma as intriguing as she finds him. But once Emma starts traveling back and forth through time, things get really confusing. Which boy is the one for her? In which reality does she belong? Will Lulu ever forgive her? And can she possibly save two disastrous productions of Hamlet before time runs out?

As a lover of Shakespeare based fiction, I was really looking forward to this one, but it wasn‘t particularly my favorite. If you‘re looking for a magically-travel-into-Shakespeare‘s-work type story I‘d direct you more towards Saving Juliet by Suzanne Selfors. Both similar stories but Saving Juliet has a bit more adventure.

I randomly bought this because it's Shakespeare-related, and I love Shakespeare. It's a cute #YA that centers around a high school production of Hamlet. Emma must deal with friendship issues, love interests, and keeping the play rehearsals going smoothly so the production is ready for opening night. And there's even a little bit of time travel involved. #librarylove #booklove #englishteacher #teachersoflitsy

Husband: "If we go to Half-Price Books today, do you think we could stick to two books each?" Me: "Absolutely." ???

I LOVE Shakespeare. But I was a little hesitant about reading this book. The premise sounds a little too kitschy for me. Turns out, I was wrong. It is a great price of ya literature. I loved Shakespeare as a teen. I wish this book would have been around then. #yalit #hamlet #shakespeare

"High school stage manager falls through a trapdoor and ends up at the Globe in 1601"--sign me up! A geeky, fluffy read. Don't think about the time travel logic too hard; enjoy the EXTREMELY ACCURATE depictions of high school theatre and the Shakespeare nerdery.

This book and I spent some quality time together last night between the hours of 3 and 6am. Yesterday was not a great day, but I'm loving this book so there's that. #andawaytheygo @Liberty

I'm a fan of any childrens, middle grade, or YA book that brings the world of Shakespeare into its fold. A debut book from this author, it's light and funny but with some solid underlying themes of self-discovery, friendship woes, and being true to yourself. Toss in a dash of time travel and a great peek behind the curtain of the theater itself and you've got yourself a lovely way to wile away a few hours. Looking forward to the next book!

Bette I've got it...guess I need to move it up in the stack. 😊👍❤️️ 8y
