Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-01 00:00:00 Ned Kozlowski My first thought when I came across an Avi book as a kid was'"Superheroes write books?" Hehe…I had a thing for masked crusaders (still do). Something about the single name screamed SUPER and in many ways Avi is a superhero. He captivates readers left and right with humor, hijinks, mystery, chills, intelligence, and fun. The man can do it all! Sooooo when I spotted this gem at a book sale over the weekend, I scooped it up, ran home, and read it cover to cover in one giggle-fest sitting. :) This tale of love and woe revolves around how much work, confusion, and fun can be had in a school production of Romeo & Juliet and first love. Ed Sitrow is determined to help his best friend, Saltz, overcome his shyness and actually talk to the girl of his dreams. It's pretty hard to talk to a girl when you can't even look at her yet. What better way for love to bloom than to have the potential love birds play Romeo and Juliet in the play. They have to look at each other then, right? *giggles* Once the curtain went up on this chaos filled production, my smiles and laughter never stopped! An adorable story filled with drama on the stage and off with scene stealers, swash buckling villains, costume malfunctions galore, swords, smashes, crashes, crushes, mohawks, pyromaniacs, kisses, and first loves! Phew…who knew love could be so complicated and messy? :D This hilarious, laugh out loud, fast paced plan to get two shy classmates together showcases the power of teamwork, friendship, love, and Shakespeare! Before I go, I have to share this laugh. *shakes head* Boys! Saltz, nervous about his first kiss on stage, turns to his best friend for advice: "You put your mouth on…hers. What if she spits? Will you listen! Or burps. I mean, it's weird, isn't it. Can't be. Why? Because people'most of them'like it. Maybe they just say that. Maybe it's just a fad. There are always fads. They go away. Saltz, it's in the play. You have to do it. It's going to be hard. I thought for a moment. Does your sister have a Cabbage Patch Kid?" *gasps* A bit horrifying, but hilarious at the same time! :D There is so much fun to be had here!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-13 00:00:00 Matt Deshais There's a lot of drama in this book because the worst things that could possibly happen in a school play, just ganged up and plopped themselves into the plot of this book. It was really entertaning, and a fun read though.
