Two Postcodes, two streets apart In dear Merton where our story starts. Beef from the past creates new tension. Innocent blood spilled they need an intervention. A boy and a girl, supposed to be ops; They chat, hold hands, secret meetings by the shops. A remixed tale of star-crossed lovers. How much would you risk for the person you love? Forced apart by generations of hatred, young eyes meet across a South London dancefloor on a fateful night that will change their lives forever. Shakespeare's most famous story is re-told through rap, rhythms, and beautiful harmonies. It's Romeo and Juliet, but as you've never heard it before. Put down your swords and pick up your mics, after all, the course of true love never did run smooth. From Conrad Murray, the creator behind the 2023 Offie award-winning Pied Piper: The Hip Hop Family Musical, with contributions from Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, Khai Shaw, and Kate Donnachie. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Polka Theatre in March 2024.

In this fast-paced romance that combines flirty fun and situational comedy, a spunky heroine must navigate secret crushes, high school hijinks, and of course, Shakespeare. Understudies never get to perform...which is why being Juliet's understudy in the school's yearly Shakespeare production is the perfect role for Emily. She can earn some much-needed extra credit while pursuing her main goal of spending time with Wes, aka Romeo, aka the hottest, nicest guy in school (in her completely unbiased opinion). And she meant to learn her lines, really, it's just: a) Shakespeare is HARD, b) Amanda (the "real" Juliet) makes her run errands instead of lines, and c) there's no point, since Amanda would never miss her chance to be the star of the show. Then Amanda ends up in the hospital and Emily, as the (completely unprepared!) understudy, has to star in the most famous scene from Romeo and Juliet opposite the guy of her dreams. Oops? Shani Petroff’s Romeo and What’s Her Name is a laugh-out-loud funny novel chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads. Praise for Romeo and What's Her Name: "This has all the hallmarks of a high-school romance: a swoon-worthy male lead, a requisite mean girl, and plenty of backstage dallying and wacky miscommunication. Flirty and fun." —Booklist "Petroff’s latest offering, published by Macmillan’s crowdsourced imprint, will delight romance lovers with its fast pace and humorous tone." —School Library Journal "[Emily is] the American Bridget Jones...this book is simply amazing!" —Jenn, reader on SwoonReads.com
