Enjoyed it. It was a fun read and I plan on recommending it to young ones I know. I liked that the history was sprinkled throughout.
I decided to pick up my favorite childhood book, and this is still phenomenal! What a fun mystery. I really resonated with Hero when I was 10, and I still do to a point. Almost 13 years later and I have to give it a solid 4 stars for nostalgia and an awesome story.
Honestly it was a good book, but it could've been longer!!!!!!!
There was so many different aspects of this book that appeal to different people. If you like mysteries then there's that aspect of the book. If you like history, then there's the Shakespeare angle. If you like realistic fiction about middle school angst, then there's that angle too. My only criticism of the book is that sometime Broach used her description to excess and she also made it appear as if the mystery that was solved at the end of the story was historically accurate. Of course, that problem is alleviated at the very back of the book if you read the author's note where she explains her position.
I really like that this book gives kids a little taste of ideas and theories of Shakespeare before they actually begin to learn it. I have to commend the author for wanting to expose a younger audience to the playwright whom they will inevitably have to read a few years down the road in high school.

libri per bambini così non ne fanno più mi era mancato
This was a fun read that the kids in our book club (Grades 5-6) are really enjoying. Though I think it will appeal a little more to the girls, the mystery and historical references will appeal to girls and boys alike.
