Customer Reviews

Jess + Liz make William Shakespeare GROOAN!!

Jessica has a bad cold which stops her from trying out for the role of Juliet at school.Of course she is devastated,and begs Elizabeth to try out as Jessica!Elizabeth does so and wins the part only to want to keep it for herself!A war is on!And when the 2 keep pushing eachother out of the role on play night it is sooo funny!Read it because you will laugh so much.

Oh Romeo, Romeo-- Yikes!

I read this long ago, when it first came out. It's one of my favorite Twins book, though I outgrew them years ago. I've always thought Romeo and Juliet was romantic and it was funny for a change to have Elizabeth causing all the trouble. SInce Jessica was sick on the day of the tryouts, Elizabeth took her place. However, when she started acting, she found that she loved it, especially having Todd as Romeo. Elizabeth and Jessica rival each other and completely mess up the performance... until the end!

I guess this was an okay book

I thought this book was okay but i just noticed that Elizabeth acts tougher in this book. I wish just once that Elizabeth could get her way instead of Jessica always getting what she wants. Also the plot was kind of junk.

This book was awesome!

This book had a very good plot but I did think that Elizabeth went a little overboard,but it was still awesome. I liked all the lines from the real play so that I could recite them. The ending was good too and I encourage anyone to read it. Keep up the good work Francine!
