As You Like It: A Shakespeare Story Retold by Andrew Matthews

Rating: I like it, but some families may not

Reading Level: Middle School

Aside from the danger of our culture’s unhealthy obsession with romantic love, this one seems relatively harmless. There is a little bit of playful deception and some family drama, but otherwise I’d place this as one of my top favorites in the series along with Macbeth (which is dark but has some important lessons such as: Don’t listen to the occult!).
