“A beautiful, enchanting story of a boy’s journey from rags to theatre riches. Told with heart and spectacle.” Sir Derek Jacobi
Orphaned and singing for pennies on the streets of London, Jack’s life changes forever when he’s whisked away by a cunning chorus master. A chance performance before Queen Elizabeth I catches the attention of the great William Shakespeare, who brings Jack to the Globe Theatre —a place of wonder, drama, and discovery.
There, Jack is thrust into the world of stagecraft and performance. When he’s chosen to play Queen Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he doesn’t just take the stage—he transforms upon it.
Full of heart, hope, and the magic of theatre, Jack’s journey from street singer to star is a triumph that will enchant readers young and old.
