Elsinore Canyon

Elisnore Canyon is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet, suitable for adult and sophisticated teen readers. "The strength of this sort of adaptation lies in showing how powerful and relevant the original story remains, a challenge the novel tackles wonderfully. The modernization works nearly seamlessly, transposing the politics of medieval Denmark to a Southern California corporate and Catholic school culture. What's more, the embellishments to the characters make them truly come alive."--Kirkus Reviews.
