The bestselling author of Who Let the Gods Out is back with a brand new story packed full of humour and heart!
Will Davenant has known more tragedy than laughter. But in an unexpected twist, he inherits his grandfather's copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare - and makes a surprising discovery.
As the last living relative of William Shakespeare himself, Will can summon the Bard's heroes from the pages . . . and now he has some extraordinary new friends to help turn things in his life around.

Maz Evans is the founder of Book Buddy. In essence Maz Evans is so concerned and rightly so, that there are barriers to reading for the more deprived children in this country and for some children, school is the only access they have to reading books. The aim of Book Buddy is to help schools match up with interested donors to get books into their libraries. So, do you have children’s books lying around that you no longer want? Could you buy an extra book for your local school every month? Do you want to find a good home for books your own children have grown out of? Are you a publishing professional with piles of books cluttering up your office? Or are you just a lovely person? Then you could be a BookBuddy! For more details go to the Book Buddy site .
