There was a lot about this book that I liked, but aside from the question of whether an average 7th grader would understand Shakespeare that readily, I also was distracted by a niggling thing. Did anyone else notice this? Mrs. Baker was married to Lt. Baker, thus creating the assumption that Baker was her married name. The store, though, was referred to as her family business, but it was Baker Sports Emporium and run by her brother. I couldn't get my mind around this. If she was a Baker who married a Baker, wouldn't this oddity have been mentioned in the book? If I missed something obvious and someone could explain this to me, it would make me feel better.
