12-year-old William S. Badgett is the big brother who must lead his two sisters and brother away from their abusive father, who wants to make sure all his children are at home so that he can collect as much "New Deal" money as possible. William is anxious to drop his last name and become William S - probably for Shakespeare. Having played Ariel in a school play, he has become a Shakespeare aficionado. Many references to Shakespeare quotes and plays. Upper elementary
