Her friends, Julia Gregg and caustic but devoted Mike the assistant producer, manage to prick the balloon for her and Carol comes down to earth solidly enough to accept a role in Miss Marlowe's production of The Merchant of Venice.

Twelve-year-old Maren is sure theater camp isn’t for her. Theater camp is for loud, confident, artsy people: people like her older sister, Hadley and her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate, Theo.

Four hundred years ago, no one bothered to write down the exact words of stage plays. Characters’ lines were scribbled on small rolls of paper (as in, an actor’s role) and passed around, but no master script was saved for the future. The main reason we’ve heard of Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and Shakespeare himself is that a group of people made the excellent choice to preserve the plays after the Bard died. If they hadn’t created the book known as the First Folio, Shakespeare and his works would surely have been lost to history.
