From a previous master, Widge was trained to write in a coded shorthand. Now his new master, Mr. Bass, has commanded him to steal Shakespeare's Hamlet play by copying it in this code. When Widge attends the play, however, he is caught up in the story and its characters that he forgets to copy most of it. He returns to attempt the copying once more, but is swept away in the story a second time! A disaster occurs and he is discovered . . . but given the chance to be trained as a players! For the first time he has a group of people who treat him with respect; he has friends; and a home with good food and a soft bed. Will he betray the people he is beginning to love?
A very exciting story that immerses the reader into this time in history and what life was like at the Globe.
The library has it categorized as "young adult" -
a few swear words; violence.
*Highly recommend.
Part of a trilogy.
-Borrowed from the library.
