(2) YA Fresh from the countryside, fourteen-year-old Richard Malory arrives in London in 1597 searching for his estranged father. The novel is an engrossing blend of intrigue and insight into the operation of a theater in Shakespeare's day. The disguises are many, the assumptions of false identities are plentiful, and the plot twists numerous--much like an Elizabethan drama.
