Shakespeare's classic story of dark ambition, madness, and murder springs to life in a masterful new graphic novel by Gareth Hinds. Set against the moody backdrop of eleventh-century Scotland, Gareth Hinds's captivating, richly illustrated interpretation takes readers into the claustrophobic mind of a man driven mad by ambition. An evil seed takes root in the mind of Macbeth, a general in the king's army, when three witches tell him he will one day be king. At the urging of his wife, he resolves to take the throne by the most direct path: a dagger in the heart of King Duncan. But "blood will have blood," and when others grow suspicious of his sudden rise to power, is Macbeth prepared to commit more murders to keep the crown?Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Gareth HindsPublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 02/10/2015ISBN: 9780763678029Pages: 152Weight: 1.05lbsSize: 10.30h x 6.70w x 0.50dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 12/15/2014 pg. 181School Library Journal 02/01/2015 pg. 112Booklist 03/01/2015 pg. 41Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2015 pg. 125Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 04/01/2015 pg. 419 - Book Of Special DistinctionAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 171970 / MacbethReading Level: 4.7 / Interest Level: Middle Grade Plus / Point Value: 1
