Bookroo's summary
Hero, a sixth-grader with a Shakespearean name, faces a new school and a mystery. An eccentric neighbor hints at a hidden diamond in her house that could unveil Shakespeare's true identity. As Hero delves into this enigma, she must navigate school challenges and the allure of a popular classmate. Will she live up to her name and solve the mystery?
From the publisher
Starting sixth grade at a new school is never easy, especially when your name is Hero. Named after a character in a Shakespeare play, Hero isn’t at all interested in this literary connection. But when she’s told by an eccentric neighbor that there might be a million dollar diamond hidden in her new house and that it could reveal something about Shakespeare’s true identity, Hero is determined to live up to her name and uncover the mystery.
