Publisher Description
When an outbreak of the deadly Black Plague closes the Globe Theatre, William Shakespeare's acting troupe sets off on a tour of England. Widge, the orphan-turned-actor, knows that he'll be useful on the trip. Not only does he love the stage, but his knack for a unique shorthand has proven him one of the most valuable apprentices in the troupe. But then a mysterious man appears, claiming to know a secret from Widge's past-a secret that may forever force him from the theatre he loves.
"An exciting, well-written tale that is sure to leave [readers] clamoring for more." (School Library Journal, starred review)

Customer Reviews
Shakespeare scribe
The book was okay. I recommend it to people who have read the prequel, Shakespeare Stealer, but warning it gets sort of slow. However I did like how some parts were predicable but other hit you in the side of the head, so to speak. All-in-all I think it was a good book and hope others like it to!

I thought the book was very lively and it was very adventurous and I loved it.
