The Shakespeare Stealer

(2) 4-6 In a fast-paced story showcasing the Globe Theatre in its heyday, young Widge is sent by his master to steal a copy of Shakespeare's new play, 'Hamlet', but things go awry. Like 'Hamlet', Blackwood's story focuses on its protagonist's doubt and deliberation about his interrupted quest. Wry humor, cliffhanger chapter endings, and a plucky hero make this a fitting introduction to Shakespeare's world.
