Picking a padlock was a lot more difficult than Lindsey had anticipated. Totally frustrated, she gave it a kick. The padlock made a hard clank against the door but didn't open.
"Brilliant,"
said Ryan sarcastically.
"There's got to be a way," she said.
"With no key?" he asked.
"You're the one who keeps saying that Shakespeare is the key. Think
of something!"
Will Shakespeare turn out
to be – or not to be –
the key?

Reader's comments: Hi my name is Katy and I just wanted to say that I loved Lindsey and the Jedgar! Awesome! It made me feel happy all over! Katharine E.
The book kept me reading to the end because I wanted to find out what happened. There weren’t any boring bits. I liked the characters and it was not difficult to identify with Lindsey as she is jut an ordinary kid. Matthew A. (age 12)
I loved the book! The way it had so much Shakespeare in it. I was in two Shakespearean plays so far, and that’s what made the book extremely fun for me. I loved to guess which quote came from which play. I liked the way you described the characters Zach and his girlfriend the most. I have a friend who reminded me exactly of her. A total airhead. Beth (age 14)
Lindsey and her friends are just like us. The exciting adventures one after another made it so I couldn’t put it down. I read it twice. Dannie S. (age 11)
I liked it a ton x 1,000,000,000,000,000. I stayed up all night reading it. James C. (age 10)
I loved the
story! If you were aiming for 11-13 year olds you made a great
guess because I loved it! I think the gripping text and unusual
storyline will keep readers hanging in suspense! Also may I
suggest writing a sequel (just so I can read it!) Nick S. (age
12) |
