Parts of the book were amusing but I don’t understand the gist of the book

Izzy retells Shakespeare! The stories are funny, as always, but I wonder how funny they would be for children. The comedy in this book might only really work if you already know the stories and I suspect few children do.

I thought that no shakespeare plays were normal especially hamlet(which I have read) ! I loved it.

This book was okay but not my favourite in the series. I prefer reading about Izzy and her friends and what they get up to at school.

I liked the book because there are lots of stories like Romeo and Juliet and macbeth and they are told differently than the other original stories because they make it funny and silly.

I think it is a good book because it tells some of the stories of the Shakespeare plays. My favourite story was Romeo and Juliette because it's intense and problematic at the end!

I would recommend this book because it is exciting, funny and there is lots of drama in it.

Izzy loves Greek Myths. So maybe I will to! ( One day!)

30 Dec 2023

This book wasn't my favourite but it kept telling about what's happening to them and referring it to a fairy tail like romeo and Juliet in the end jodi did the school dance with the most annoying boy Gary Petrie masie and zack and izzy were very confused why but in the end it was because jodi wanted to win the competition because she was very competitive

This book is about a girl who loves Shakespeare’s stories and her friends act like the characters so the girl tells the stories. I really like this book, although I never read Shakespeare. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes drama.

31 Aug 2023

The book was exciting but a bit scary in parts.

30 Aug 2023

I really liked that is was all about Shakespeares stories but they weren’t copying they were making different parts and I would definitely recommend this book to someone else

29 Aug 2023

Hamlet could NEVER make his mind up about ANYTHING. And one time he actually went to school in just his pants and got sent home because he couldn't decide what to wear.

When Izzy (star of The Spy Who Loved School Dinners) is asked to tell her friends some HILARIOUS and SCARY stories she knows exactly where to look: Shakespeare, the king of SUPER dramatic stuff. After learning about Macbeth (a STRONG solider who ate four bowls of porridge and twenty pieces of toast every morning) her friends want more. So Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet all get the Izzy treatment. There's blood and guts, ghosty stuff, and plenty of people wandering around in their nighties. The perfect introduction to the Bard!

Izzy's version of Macbeth originally appeared on the BBC Radio series 'Shakespeare Retold', read by actress Shirley Henderson (who played Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films!).
