Enter Three Witches is by Caroline B. Cooney. This book is a novelized version of Shakespeare's Macbeth told from the point of view of Lady Mary, Duncan's daughter and a ward of Lord and Lady Macbeth. This is a great introduction to the historical fantasy story and will definitely intrigue students to read the original. The chapters are introduced with lines from the play and the text uses some of the original dialogue as well. I highly recommend this book before embarking on the original play. The story is well told and will make it easier to understand the Bard's work. The content is a little mature, but so is the thematic content of the play.
Ratings: 8th grade - 10 out of 10 - MC (mature thematic content).
