"A young actor, Nat, is chosen to be a part of an all boy acting company with a very talented director. Children and men from all over America are rounded up to recreate Shakespearean plays as Shakespeare would have directed them himself. They are to perform in the famous Globe theater in London. However, there is a much deeper story. Nat is recently orphaned and still dealing with his loss. Strange things begin to happen and Nat finds himself right in the center of Elizabethan times and face-to-face with Shakespeare himself. Through his relationship with the famous and talented writer and actor, Nat begins to truly find himself."
"I loved this, but can fairly give three stars. My reasons: Susan Cooper is just so incredible, and I'd rather rate her against her Dark Is Rising series here. So, on a scale of 1-5 in Cooper-tastic ness, three. Three and a half. ;) Magic abounds here. I love Cooper's turn of a word; she makes the craft of writing seem easy and elegant, without spoiling the effect of an 11-year old narrator. There's a bit of borrowing from Shakespeare in Love (?)(although a re-imagining of the Bard is not new to film or book) and I have to say that although I liked the ending, I felt that this whole thing would make a better play. Which is appropriate here, and did happen in 2005 in NY. So, an excellent intro or re-intro (for adult or older readers) to the magic of Shakespeare. I also laugh at this cover.... skateboarding? Nat? Um, okay. ;)"
