Shakespeare's Secret
A missing diamond, a mysterious neighbor, a
link to Shakespeare - Can Hero uncover the
connections?
When Hero starts sixth grade at a new
school, she's less concerned about the
literary origins of her Shakespearean name
than about the teasing she's sure to suffer
because of it. So she has the same name as a
girl in a book by a dusty old author. Hero is
simply not interested in the connections. But
that's just the thing; suddenly connections
are cropping up all over, and odd characters
and uncertain pasts are exactly what do
fascinate Hero. There's a mysterious
diamond hidden in her new house, a curious
woman next door who seems to know an
awful lot about it, and then, well, then there's
Shakespeare. Not to mention Danny Cordova,
only the most popular boy in school. Is it all
in keeping with her namesake's origin-just
much ado about nothing? Hero, being Hero,
is determined to figure it out.
