An immaculately researched, fast-paced detective story about a missing diamond and a centuries-old secret. Hero is a misfit. She's used to starting new schools and being teased about her weird Shakespearean name - though somehow, being used to it doesn't make things any easier. When her next-door neighbour tells her about the missing diamond hidden in her new house, Hero knows she just has to find it. But why is Danny, the most popular boy in her older sister's year, so desperate to help her? And how is the diamond connected to Shakespeare? Hero is determined to find out...
