<b>Tracy Chevalier brings Shakespeare's <i>Othello</i>--a harrowing drama of jealousy and revenge--to a 1970s era elementary school playground. </b> <p/>Arriving at his fifth school in as many years, diplomat's son Osei Kokote knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day--so he's lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can't stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players--teachers and pupils alike--will never be the same again. <p/> The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practice a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. Peeking over the shoulders of four 11 year olds--Osei, Dee, Ian, and his reluctant girlfriend Mimi--Tracy Chevalier's powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying, and betrayal will leave you reeling.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Tracy Chevalier<br><b>Publisher:</b> Hogarth Press<br><b>Published:</b> 02/13/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780553447651<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>TRACY CHEVALIER is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of eight previous novels, including <i>Girl with a Pearl Earring</i>, which has been transla
