The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary L. Blackwood

The theme of this book is that one must be flexible in a time of crisis. In this book, a boy named Widge is sent to steal one of Shakespeare's plays (Hamlet). When he is there he has to act like he wants to be a player to steal the play. As many days pass, he realized that he likes the company and wants to stay, but his master is pressuring him. I thought the book was interesting and had a good vocabulary. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers.
