This Tuesday I'm Highlighting:Come Fall
by A.C.E Bauer
This book looks fantastic, and I love that it takes from Shakespeare. Anytime middle grade readers can see how Shakespeare is apart of a lot of what they read is a bonus! I hope to pick this one up soon. And psst, isn't the cover interesting!
From Goodreads
Lu Zimmer's best friend moved away last summer. Salman Page is the new kid in school. Blos Pease takes everything literally. Three kids who are on the fringe of the middle school social order find each other and warily begin to bond, but suddenly things start going wrong. Salman becomes the object of the school bully's torment, and Lu's pregnant mother has some unexpected complications. Is something conspiring against them?
In fact, through no fault of their own, Salman and Lu have become pawns in a game of jealous one-upmanship between Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of Faery, with the mischievous Puck trying to keep the peace.
Taken from Titania's mention of a foundling in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, A. C. E. Bauer spins an original tale about magical intervention in the least magical of settings: a public middle school.
What a cute cover.
