Celebrate Clueless and rolleth with the homies with this illustrated adaptation of the cult classic script, retold in Shakespearean verse by the best-selling author of William Shakespeare's Star Wars.

Clueless gets a makeover that Cher Horowitz and the Bard would approve of in this witty retelling of the ’90s teen comedy. Cher, the fairest maiden of Bronson Alcott High in Beverly Hills, spends her days merrily match-making and mall-hopping with her best friend Dionne. But her good intentions create mischief for her friends and family, including her new friend Tai, her crush Christian, and her cute stepbrother Josh, turning a comedy of errors into high drama. Can Cher admit her folly in time to save her friendships—and her own heart?
