Publisher's Synopsis
This series features classic Shakespeare retold with graphic color illustrations. Educators using the Dale-Chall vocabulary system adapted each title. Research shows that the more students read, the better their vocabulary, their ability to read, and their knowledge of the world. Word-for-word audiobook features professional actors and sound effects, not just monotonous monologue. Books are sold separately. Although Bassanio owes his friend Antonio a great deal of money, he must borrow more to make a good impression when he courts his true love, Portia. However, Antonio is short of cash and must borrow from the lender, Shylock. More problems arise when Antonio's ships are wrecked, leaving him penniless when Shylock's loan is due. Bassanio must now find a way to save his friend's life, but help is on the way from an unexpected source!
