Cooper Vega is an army brat that changes schools like others change Facebook profile pictures. In each new school he is pretty content to be a nobody, a "What's his face". This school turns out to be different for two reasons: One is a Shakespeare obsessed, adrenaline junky girl named Jolie and the other is the ghost of a Elizabethan printer's apprentice named Roddy who lives in Cooper's phone. What is a guy to do but try out for the school's play of Romeo and Juliet so he can figure out how to help Roddy fulfill his destiny and "cross over"?
This is a another of Korman's stand-alone school stories. It is light hearted but neither as deep as Restart or as funny as Ungifted. Still, there is an element of mystery, a little romance, and sprinkling of Shakespeare trivia. I think Korman fans won't be disappointed. (2018, 231 p)
