A modern Shakespeare twist with Tempestuous


Take a break from the oh-so-serious literature your teacher is making ya read, and dive into the new book by Kim Askew and Amy Helmes. Tempestuous is a modern twist on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and it’s absolutely hilarious.

While working off her debt to society in a Minneapolis mall, former prep school princess Miranda Prospero now wears a different crown—one with a spinning frankfurter on top!

 

One day, Miranda is doing the same old job at the mall’s hotdog kebab cart, until a huge blizzard hits the city. Suddenly she, as well as the other mall workers and plenty die-hard shoppers, are stranded in the building.

 

Stuck in the shopping center with the townies and the preps, Miranda decides to get revenge on the clique of mean girls who froze her out and kicked her off her throne of popularity. She hatches an elaborate plan, one that may just include bad boy Caleb…who turns out to actually have a heart of gold.

 

Among all the chaos of the plan, there’s another small issue brewing. While Miranda is worrying over her reputation, an armed robber might just be on the loose, with only a rent-a-cop on his tail.
