About this audiobook
It's springtime at South Orange Middle School. Pete Saltz is in love with Anabelle, a girl in his eighth grade class, and she likes him, too. But they're both so shy, they won't even look at each other, much less show their feelings. It will take more than chance to get them together. Fortunately, Ed Sitrow, another eighth grader, has a master plan. He'll cast Pete and Anabelle in the lead roles of a school production of Romeo and Juliet. Then they will have to kiss each other in the last act. Soon the whole school is looking forward to the play-and the big scene. Avi has delighted countless young readers with his tales of high-spirited adventure. A former librarian, he has won a Newbery Honor Award, an O'Dell Award, a Christopher Award, and honors from the ALA for his works. Romeo and Juliet . is full of slapstick and excitement, and narrator Jeff Woodman's lighthearted performance heightens the fun.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the few books I've had to set down so I could stop laughing long enough to breathe. I don't know why I find it so freaking hilarious. But I do! Excellent for any middle-school student who enjoys a quick, funny, read!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I might have gotten more out of this if I'd read the first book in the series, but I still thought this book was pretty cute.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ed's best friend, Pete Saltz, has a problem. He's in love with Anabell Stackpoole and is utterly unable to do anything about it. When Ed realizes Saltz is in desperate need of love assistance, he and the rest of his class come up with a plan to do a production of Romeo and Juliet with Saltz and Anabell in the leading rolls. However, putting together a play in only two weeks turns out to be a little more difficult than Ed could have imagined. Okay, so this isn't really a young adult book like I anticipated, I'd say it is more for the elementary to tween reader. However, this adult (meaning me) found the book to be absolutely, gut wrenchingly hilarious!! I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did while reading about this ill-fated production. The characters were quite endearing and were surprisingly developed for the story. I've never read anything by Avi before, but I'll have to keep an eye out for his books in the future, because whether it was written for kids or not, I loved this one.
