Review
This book takes William Shakespeare's Macbeth and tells it thru emogi's, text blocks, texting shortcuts, and thought bubbles. I thought this would be a fun way for the kids to read a classic - or not. Now I may have not read this play in many years but I do still know it fairly well, yet I had a difficult time figuring out what they were saying /talking about throughout the book. I'll be interested to see our circulation stats on it once we get it in the collection.
Overall Book Score: fair
