Straight outta Stratford, a side-splitting new series about the imagined childhood of William Shakespeare A tingle ran down Willy's spine or possibly it was a rat. It was hard to tell, so closely packed was the audience. Whatever it was, Willy knew one thing: he wouldn’t have swapped places with anyone! This hilarious tale is an irreverent, action-packed introduction to Shakespeare and the Tudor period.

About the Author:
the Bad Dog series, Boo!, and Yuck!: The Grossest Joke Book Ever.
From Booklist:
Featuring one of the best titles ever, this cheery burlesque follows the misadventures of 11-year-old Willy Shakespeare as he escapes the Stratford tannery of his tyrannical father (“Go and skin that basket of puppies I left in the kitchen, you gleeking little gut-griping giblet”) and the feared goons of the Queen’s Royal Protection Squad (aka Her Majesty’s Codpieces) to join the Black Skulls—a troupe of Elizabethan thespians and glam-rock minstrels. Aided by Rogers’ occasional full-page ink-and-wash cartoon tableaux and the many altered but recognizable Shakespearean references throughout, Chatterton keeps the plot hurtling along amid much hurly-burly as the stagestruck lad enlists the aid of three booger-reading Hag sisters and Yorick, the band’s canny, oversize roadie, to rescue lead actor/lutenist Olivier Thesp from an unjust beheading and amuse Her Majesty enough to earn a royal booking. The titular couplet’s second line reads: “something wicked this way goes.” Wickedly funny, that is. Grades 4-6. --John Peters
