Book Description:

Shakespeare’s work features some of the most memorable stories and characters ever created, yet for too many curious readers the combination of ultra-dense dialogue and unfamiliar historical settings make tackling the Bard’s work something between a tedious chore and a confusing mess of bird-bolts and quondam carpet-mongers.

While it’s nearly impossible to replicate or improve on these works, it is (thanks to their timeless nature) possible to make them more accessible to a wider audience.

In this Young Adult retelling of one of William Shakespeare’s most memorable plays, join C.E. Wilson as she breathes new life into Othello, the second book in her series Shakespeare for Everyone Else.

Excerpt:


“So answer the question,” Orion said.

“I wasn’t aware you were asking one.”

“Are you kidding me?” Orion grumbled, running his hand over his short dark hair. “Why are you talking around everything that I’m asking you? I can see it in your eyes that your mind is buzzing. When we walked into the library you said you didn’t like something and now you’re asking about Micah and how close he is to Dev. Is there something going on I don’t know about?” Archer looked away. “I don’t think so.”

“You looked somewhere else! I saw it! Tell me what you’re thinking. Now.”
