changing history?

Goldie Alexander

4.9/5 (20903 ratings)

Description:These are three clever and absorbing ‘takes’ on well- known Shakespeare plays presently studied in Australian and New Zealand secondary schools, and now turned into three young adult novels. ‘The Tempest’ is retold as science fiction in ‘The Trytth Chronicles’.‘Macbeth’, set in present day Melbourne as ‘Gap Year Nanny’ explores Stuart Macbeth’s rise and fall as told by Merri, the family nanny. ‘Romeo and Juliet’, in ‘Changing History?’ relates Taylor’s experiences in present day Melbourne and 1928 Berlin. I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Changing History?’ as Goldie’s ability to bring the past to life is well proven. Her research into The Hummingbird restaurant and dancehall, based on a recently discovered building in Mitte Berlin, is meticulous. This setting provides a convincing background to lovers torn apart by opposing religions as viewed by a contemporary girl thrust back to a year when anything could and did happen, a place where Taylor must struggle to survive.The concept behind these novels is to demonstrate how classic characters and plots can be transformed into stories young readers will find intriguing by morphing them into contemporary settings. This is not unfamiliar territory as Goldie has already tackled the magical elements of ‘The Odyssey’ as a middle grade novel and a YA verse novel.The Shakespeare Trilogy is intended as an introduction to the original plays in the hope that they become more accessible for students who find Shakespeare’s wonderful poetry difficult. The idea is that students will be urged to explore these plays for themselves and even write their own versions. Yet even without any previous knowledge of Shakespeare, these three novels provide enjoyable stories very suitable for this young readership.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
