This book is about a girl named Emma who is in high-school and is also the drama club stage-manager which is putting on the play, Hamlet. When her friend Stanley cuts a hole in the stage, she falls through it and ends up at one of the original productions of Hamlet, also becoming the assistant book-keeper. On opening night of her high-school performance, the star is sick and the director is nowhere to be seen! Can Emma keep the show together through all of this? I liked this book because it had an interesting plot line but I did not like that it had some inappropriate topics. Parts of the book is written in Elizabethan English so it is kind of difficult to read. I would recommend this book to young adults because of the language and some of the topics that are inappropriate.
