Crushing on a Capulet: (Romeo & Juliet) (Cracked Classics, 6)

When Devin and Frankie are sucked into a Shakespeare play, they try to unite two young lovers from warring families

When their teacher assigns Devin and Frankie the lead roles in their class production of Romeo and Juliet, the two best friends aren’t thrilled. How are they supposed to read their lines when they don’t even sound like they’re written in English? Luckily, the library’s magic security gates come to their rescue again. Devin and Frankie are hurled into Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy—and right in the middle of a swordfight between two warring families, the Montagues and the Capulets. When they find out that Romeo Montague has fallen in love with Juliet Capulet, Devin and Frankie decide it’s up to them to make sure this unlikely couple lives happily ever after.

Determined to change the book’s tragic end, the friends do their best to save the doomed lovers. But they discover that sometimes loss is the only way people can learn to put aside their differences and forgive.
