4.0 out of 5 stars Action sleuth children's book set in Elizabethan England, 28 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cue for Treason (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
When 14 year-old Peter Brownrigg throws a stone at his Cumberland community's enemy, Sir Philip Morton, it sets him on an adventure of treason and a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth. In his bid to escape the enraged Sir Philip, Peter joins a touring group of actors and meets the mysterious Kit, an impressive young actor, with a strange secret. Peter soon finds himself working in London, with none other than William Shakespeare himself. When Peter accidently lends his script of Shakespeare's new play to a stranger, he discovers a plot to kill the Queen. With the help of Kit, Peter must return to Cumberland to discover the circumstances and nature of the assasination attempt. In the ensuing adventure, Peter discovers his true limits, both physically and mentally, as he battles to save the Queen in time. A story of intrigue, mystery and bravery that kept me, as a child, gripped in the story and touched my imagination for years. As my teacher never finished reading this story in class when I was 9, I've always wondered what happened to Kit and Peter, and it was only recently that the ending was revealed to me. Children will love this book of Kit and Peter becoming agents for the Queen's secret service, and the historical setting complements any education they may be having about the Tudors or Elizabethan era.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting book for just about any age!, 4 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cue for Treason (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
I am 13 and we have just read this book in class. It is set in Elizabethan times and is exciting from the beginning. When Peter Brownrigg throws a stone at horrible Sir Philip Morton who is trying to take over their land he gets into big trouble. So Sir Philip sends out soldiers to search for him and he has to run away. From then on he has many adventures such as joining an acting group and meeting Kit who has a mysterious secret which nobody can know, meeting William Shakespere(!), coming close to death several times and discovering a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth! It will keep you reading until the last page and there are unexpected twists in every chapter! I would recommend it to anybody over 10 or so because although it is mainly easy to understand sometimes the language is a bit hard or there are odd words which need explaining! Although some books you read in lessons are boring this one isn't!

5.0 out of 5 stars brings Elizabethan England to life, 12 Jun 2009
This review is from: Cue for Treason (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
I read this book when I was at school in the 80's and it has taken me a while to track it down as I could not remember the title or author! The book has got a great pace, really makes you picture the Lake District and Elizabethan London in your mind. The characters are engaging and the storyline is lovely. This is an excellent book!

5.0 out of 5 stars great historical fiction
Gripping story from the very first page - although written some time ago now, it's still a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of the best Elizabethan thrillers for 9+
Geoffrey Treace is one of the best historical writers for primary-age children, and alongside A Crown of Violets (Ancient Greece), this is as good as it gets. Read more
