A boy left out of the religious pull-out classes at his school has no choice but to start a private study of Shakespeare with his teacher. As you can imagine, he's not thrilled about this idea, but it grows on him. This was great on several levels: Anyone who loves Shakespeare will enjoy Holling's growing appreciation for the Bard. Beyond that, this book deals realistically and sensitively with issues of war, religion, love, friendship, and family.
