"A group of teenagers fights dark magic and Nazis in 1940s Germany"--

History is filled with stories of women accused of witchcraft, of fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features fifteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure - and to kill. ... This collection reveals a universal truth: there's nothing more powerful than a teenage girl who believes in herself.

These fifteen reimaginings of Shakespeare's classic works include a midsummer's dance in a gym. A cast party amongst the star. An ode to a fallen rap legend. The authors put a modern spin on the works, for contemporary audiences. -- adapted from jacket
