"You are deluded, Romeo. Vampires do not have the capability to
love. They are heartless."
The Capulets and the Montagues have some deep and essential
differences. Blood differences. Of course, the Capulets can escape
their vampire fate, and the Montagues can try not to kill their
undead enemies. But at the end of the day, their blood feud is
unstoppable. So it's really quite a problem when Juliet, a
vampire-to-be, and Romeo, the human who should be hunting her, fall
desperately in love. What they don't realize is how deadly their
love will turn out to be--or what it will mean for their
afterlives. . . .
This riotous twist on the ultimate tale of forbidden romance is
simply to die for.

This Scholastic Classics edition of George Orwell's classic satire
novel is perfect for students and Orwell enthusiasts alike. All
animals are equal - but some are more equal than others. When the
ill-treated animals of Manor Farm rebel against their master Mr
Jones and take over the farm, they start to believe in a life of
freedom and equality for all. But slowly, the egocentric and
ruthless Napoleon takes control and the animals are subjected to
force and violence from the corrupt elite - the pigs. As one
dictator is replaced with another, the idea of fairness and
equality for all becomes a distant memory. Class, equality, power
and control are some of the themes that run throughout this novel.
