    The author's surname is Coville, not Cogville.

    Also, if you're still reading Shakespeare-related YA fiction, you might look at Prince of Shadows: a novel of Romeo and Juliet, by Rachel Caine, which was published earlier this year. It's about Benvolio.

    Thanks, Anonymous, for the correction and for the tip! I'll give the book you mention a try.

    Take care!
