Shakespeare's Secret

Hero Netherfield is not too excited about starting sixth grade at a new school: She knows that she’ll be teased about her name, just like at her old school. But when she learns that a mysterious diamond is hidden somewhere in her house, and the woman next door seems to know more than she’s saying, life gets much more interesting. Is it true that the diamond has a connection to Shakespeare and British royalty? Or is it all "much ado about nothing?" Author’s note. Historical time line.
