Prepare for Sports Day carnage as the Montagues and Capulets battle for the House Medal in this laugh-out-loud Shakespeare-inspired drama from Ross Montgomery.

Top school athletes Dom and Blake have been best friends forever – B and D, D-Dog and B-Unit, the Cool Combo… But with Sports Day approaching, their friendship is suddenly under threat. Mr Fortune, their headmaster, has pitted the school houses against each other by naming them after characters from his favourite Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet.

With Dom in Montague House facing Blake from Capulet House, will B and D end the day as mortal enemies or will brotherly love prevail?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
