The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard by Gregory Rogers

 A wordless graphic "novel"

A boy kicks his soccer ball into an abandon building. As he explores it, he realizes that building once housed plays. He selects a costume, emerges on the stage, and at 4 pm (when all of Shakespeare's plays began in the midsummer) he is transported to the Globe Theater.  He is standing before a crowd. The Bard (Shakespeare) dashes from behind the curtain to remove the distracting boy but slips on the soccer ball. A chase ensues. The reader and the boy experience the streets of Elizabethan London with lots of adventures.

-Borrowed from the library.
