- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enter Three Witches by Caroline Cooney is a retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from the viewpoint of a young, fourteen year old Lady Mary, a ward of Lord and Lady Macbeth’s. Lady Mary is looking forward to a bright future, being betrothed to a handsome young man and soon to become mistress of her own castle. Then her father is exposed and executed as a traitor along with her betrothed and Mary’s life is changed forever.Friendless and on the very fringe of society, Mary is in a position to observe and when King Duncan is murdered and his two sons have fled, she knows that they were not responsible and that the real murderer is being given Duncan’s crown.With lots of action and drama, the author puts her own stamp on this YA retelling. She scatters her own characters across the stage and builds her story all the while keeping the integrity of the play intact. Each chapter opens with a line from the original play giving us a taste of Shakespeare’s rich, descriptive language. While I personally wasn’t totally swept away, I believe this Macbeth fan-fiction would make a great introduction to Shakespeare for middle-school aged children.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Q4, P4I really enjoyed this book because I think it's a great way to introduce young people to Shakespeare. The book gives the main gist of the story of Macbeth, but through the eyes of a young lady who, due to her father's actions, finds her circumstances diminished from a ward of Macbeth to a scullery maid in Macbeth's castle. By including quotes from the actual play as the subject headings AND as dialog that is overheard by the story's characters while maintaining the main storyline in modern English, it introduces Shakespearean English in a way that is understandable to kids.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting book for 8-12 year old readers. Basically retells the story of MacBeth from the view point of a young woman in the castle. Many of the chapters center around the lines of the play.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enter Three Witches is a fun retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth from the perspective of a kitchen girl in Macbeth's castle. All the characters from the play make appearances, and readers get a new angle on the famous play. Macbeth is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays, and Enter Three Witches just helped remind me how much I enjoy it. Definitely worth reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a retelling of McBeth through the eyes of a young lady at court, who is almost immediately made an orphan and ward of the court by the hanging of her father, Lord Cawdor for treason. Thus the story is told by someone completely, or virtually at the mercy of the MacBeth because of this the tale of their dissolution is even more terrifying. Although I have read and seen MacBeth, several times and enjoyed it reading this book made me realize I should go back and read it again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you love Macbeth this book is a must read. We follow the terrible tale that is unravelled through the eyes of a young lady who is staying with the Macbeth's at Inverness. They travel all the way to Dunsinane when Birnam Wood moves.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! Fast-paced, compelling characters and exciting. Strong enough to stand alone, and is a fascinating read.
