An ancient feud divides the Montagues and Capulets—until Romeo and Juliet meet and fall irrevocably in love. Their secret marriage defies generations of bloodshed, but in a world poisoned by hatred, even the most transcendent love cannot escape fate. From the euphoric heights of a moonlit balcony to the stifling darkness of a tomb, Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedy races toward its devastating conclusion. This is a story that challenges whether love can ever truly conquer hate. Age 12+

When a mysterious spell transforms her entire family into animals, Princess Sheila’s game is thrown for a major loop. Now, with her frog prince pal and her newly furry (and feathery!) family by her side, she’ll navigate enchanted forests, decode riddles with rhythm, and use every bit of her street smarts to break the curse. With even more music, mega laughs, and a petting zoo full of characters, this sequel proves that the real magic isn’t in a wand—it’s in believing in yourself and putting family first. Fun for all ages!
