What's In a Name? Check out these YA Titles @ Your Library!

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage.” - L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

A name can tell you all you need to know about a story. In the case of Shakespeare, you didn't want to get attached to the character whose name was in the title of the play. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, the Scottish play ...

Check out some of these titles inspired by the characters within them:

Alice in the Know, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Alice on Her Way, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Ali's Pretty Little Lies, by Sara Shepard
