review:
'Shakespeare's Tales: Romeo and Juliet' adapted by Samantha Newman with illustrations by Ceej Rowland is an adaptation of a beloved play for younger readers.
When Romeo and Juliet meet, it's love at first sight. The problem is that their families hate each other, so they secretly get married. Then a series of missteps and miscommunications bring on the real tragedy.
The obvious question is how to adapt this for young readers, and it's handled really well. The language is modern and the story is condensed in to a readable length. A really nice adaptation.
