This graphic novel is the original story of Romeo and Juliet, only told through a graphic novel eye. It was pages full of beautiful illustrations and many clear speech bubbles connected to each character to show exactly who is speaking.

I enjoyed seeing the pictures and illustrations because it kept me interested in the story itself. I wouldn’t recommend it to younger children but high school would be great!
