When I opened this book and realized it centered around an 8th grade girl, I wasn't sure what to expect. Yes it is full of "girl drama" and will be added to my list of "chick lit" books. But it has more too! Hamlet is dealing with a genius of a little sister, who is going to school with her to be 'socialized' and attends college classes in the afternoon, and she's only 7! Hamlet's parents are both professors in Shakespearean literature, complete with dressing the part daily. Hamlet just wants to be ordinary! This is a great story about family, friends, peers, and finding your talents. I highly recommend this one!
