From Austen to Shelley
Publisher Description
Help your teen step into classic literature with this sampler of revamped classics written especially with a teen audience in mind. These popular authors have taken their cues from such classics as FRANKENSTEIN, HAMLET, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, EMMA, and classic Arthurian legends, maintaining the literary integrity and intentions of the originals but infusing them with drama, action, and contemporary language sure to engage modern readers. Teens don’t need to be familiar with the original stories, but we bet these accessible novels will make them seek out the originals.
Featuring samples from THIS DARK ENDEAVOUR by Kenneth Oppel, HAMLET & OPHELIA by John Marsden, WONDROUS STRANGE by Lesley Livingston, THE ONE AND ONLY ZOE LAMA by Tish Cohen, and THE BILLIONAIRE’S CURSE by Richard Newsome.
