"An appealing historical novel for pre-teens. One of my favorites as a kid. Cool plot about a girl trying to break into the Elizabethan theatre world - and so compelled to impersonate a boy who happens to be surprisingly natural at playing female Shakespearean roles! She meets Will and other greats, and gets into an exciting, dangerous adventure that is related to the gunpowder plot, if I recall correctly. Well written in the British style. Maybe it seems dated now, but I'm surprised it hasn't gotten higher ratings."
