"In the room beneath a stage's trapdoor, Shakespeare's dead teenage girls-Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and others-compare their experiences and retell the stories of their lives in their own terms.

""At once tender, poetic and ferocious, Enter The Body breathes new life into the Bard's most tragic heroines. More than a tribute to Shakespeare, this kaleidoscopic, ambitious novel-in-verse gives Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Lavinia the chance to tell their own stories full of passion, justice, sisterhood, and love. Simply spectacular.""-Michael L. Printz Award winnerLaura Ruby, author of Bone Gap
