    Middle school students Emma and Peter are assigned Act I of Romeo and Juliet to read for homework. Peter wants to get a better copy than his tattered paperback. So he climbs up onto a chair in his mother’s study to retrieve her heavy Riverside Shakespeare. Just as he tugs on it, the chair moves and the book hits him on the head. When Peter regains consciousness, he can speak only in lines from Shakespeare. So instead of saying a simple "hello," he might say something like, "How dost thou?" or instead of a simple "goodbye" he might say, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." 
    Emma Malcolm narrates this appealing young adult fantasy. She describes herself and her neighbor Peter Marlowe as “happy nerds.” Yet when Peter suddenly becomes unable to speak modern English, everything changes. As hard as Peter tries to speak for himself, his words come out as Shakespeare’s own. His strange speech irritates Emma at the school bus stop and embarrasses her in the baseball stadium. Emma thinks so, too, but she soon realizes that he cannot help himself. However, when he discovers that he can text and instant message in modern English, Emma becomes his translator. 
    English is Peter’s favorite class, and Ms. Hastings is his favorite teacher. Ms. Hastings decides to guide the class even further into Shakespeare’s world. She determines to help them put on the 30-Minute version of Romeo and Juliet. Peter and Emma will be the leads, the play’s star-crossed lovers—after all, Romeo and Juliet were about their age. Emma has never kissed a boy, and she realizes that she is about to experience her first kiss in front of the whole school. 
    This engaging comedy introduces Shakespeare’s language gracefully, making it part of a light and charming fantasy about language and first love.

    Luke 15: 11-31  
    The Prodigal Son  
    Jesus gave them a parable and said, “A man had two sons.” 
    “The younger son said to his father, Father, give me my inheritance from now.” 
    “The father gave his two sons their inheritance.” 
    “Some days later, the younger son packed his bags and went out of the country into another far country and there he spent his money foolishly.” 
    “Now when he had spent all his money in that same country came a great famine.” 
    “When this happened, he then began to be in need. He went and stayed with a citizen of that country, and he sent him out to work on the pig farm. He fed the pigs.” 
    “And he ate the food that was for the pigs because no one gave him anything to eat.” 
    “Then one day, he looked into himself and said, why am I here? How many of my father’s servants have enough bread to eat and I am here starving.” 
    “I will get up and go back home to my father and say, I am sorry, and I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son but please make me a hired worker.”
