An ABA Pick of the Lists A
Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1999
Nat Field
has been picked by a dazzling international director to
perform at Shakespeare's Globe, London's amazing new copy of
the theater for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays
four hundred years ago. As the boys begin to rehearse
strange, eerie echoes of the past begin creeping in. Nat
goes to bed mysteriously sick and wakes up healthy. —But
he's no longer in the present, he's in 1599, acting at the
original Globe. And his costar is Shakespeare himself; no
longer a vague historical figure, but a quirky, warm-hearted
writeractor whose friendship changes Nat forever.
