MaxBeth (Shook-up Shakespeare Retellings for Teens)

Description

Too much ambition can lead to trouble, trouble!

Max loves playing baseball, hanging out with friends, and eating pizza, but his girlfriend, Beth, has other plans for him. The more she micromanages him, the more he wants to break free. When one of her schemes goes too far, Max is caught in a plot that could ruin all his friendships, spoil his chance at real love, and land him in juvenile jail!

This modern teen retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of MacBeth explores the ramifications of too much ambition—minus all the deaths but with some fun parallels and quotes from the original thrown in.
