Overview

Before Gabe can graduate high school, he must endure one final hurdle: Shakespeare. Gabe was not born under a rhyming star. His literary hero, Don Quixote, tilts at windmills. Now English lab sends him to Elizabethan England to experience Shakespeare and the Renaissance firsthand. Lesson one: William Shakespeare is a pen name. The hidden author is Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. Still, Gabe is surprised by an eight-year-old brat. Impervious to verse, instead he is drawn into the rich pageantry of Edward's life. Aversion grows into friendship through the real-life adventures underlying the earl's brilliant plays, from the court of Queen Elizabeth to the vampires of Venice, and sailing against the Spanish Armada. As Europe turns from medieval to modern, Gabe comes of age.
