The Last Bard (PB) by Maz Evans

Will Davenant has known more tragedy than laughter, but everything changes when he inherits his grandfather’s copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare. He soon discovers that, as the last living relative of William Shakespeare, he has the extraordinary ability to summon the Bard’s characters from the pages.

With Shakespeare’s heroes suddenly on hand, Will finds unexpected friends who may help him turn his life around. Maz Evans combines fantasy, humour and heart in this accessible standalone story, introducing younger readers to some of Shakespeare’s best-loved characters along the way.
