All Hamlet Kennedy wants is to be a normal eighth grader. But with
parents like hers - Shakespearean scholars who actually dress in
Elizabethan regalia . . . in public! - it's not that easy. As if they
weren't strange enough, her genius seven-year-old sister will be
attending her middle school, and is named the new math tutor. Then, when
the Shakespeare Project is announced, Hamlet reveals herself to be an
amazing actress. Even though she wants to be average, Hamlet can no
longer hide from the fact that she- like her family - is anything but
ordinary.
