King of Shadows by Susan Cooper is about an 11 year-old boy who is part
of the Company of boys, a group of boys who are rehearsing to perform
Shakespeare’s plays. It is first set in the late 20th century but
after Nathan gets the Bubonic plague, he goes back in time to 1599. He works
with William Shakespeare and makes new friends, but he still misses his life in
the 20th century. He also wonders if he will ever be able to return
to his old life. Everything is so different in the 16th; no light
bulbs or television and very brutal punishments. So how is he supposed to act
like a boy from the Elizabethan Era?Saturday 17 November 2012
