About the Book:

111 One-Minute Monologues: The Rich, the Famous, the Historical

Do all the people in books seem boring? Not anymore!

In school, everyone you read about can seem perfect and dull. This book features fictional speeches by celebrities of history, science, literature, and politics who are re-imagined as tweens and teens. What was Genghis Khan like in gym class? Was Shakespeare likely to get a girlfriend? Did Marie Curie's experiments ever fail, big time? Was Susan B. Anthony bossy? Look inside this book and find out!

Plus, a game has been built into this book. The monologues are organized into categories (world leaders, athletes, film stars, and so on), but individual speakers are not identified by name. It's up to you to guess who's who! (Answers are provided at the end of each chapter, but don't peek!) A fun read for students and a great tool for teachers, these monologues are surefire winners in auditions or the classroom.
