The family publishing business is in trouble; to save it, Colophon and her cousin Julian need to find a mysterious ancient family treasure connected to playwright William Shakespeare. This book's entertaining adventure--full of happenstance--involves several historical and literary clues and sets up a larger, series-long mystery. Pen-and-ink illustrations provide a fitting ambiance for this enjoyable read.
