The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet

The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet   By Erin Dionne

***** 5/5 stars   Realistic Fiction
This book is very real. The charaters act like how people would usually act and you can really sense the emotions in the characters. Hamlet 's school year is not going well. Her seven year old genius sister, Desdemonda, skipped so many grades that Desdemonda is now at Hamlet's grade. Desdemonda has also befriended Saber and Mauri. Hamlet does not like them. Pretty horrible right? It gets worse. Desdemonda also ends up being Hamlet's math tutor and if that is not enough, Hamlet's parents are Shakespearean professors so when her class starts their Shakespeare project things start to get nightmarish.
