Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

These graphic-novel abridgements vary from modest but adequate storytelling (in shorter tales like Wilde's) to merely illustrated plot summaries for more complex works (Melville's and Homer's). All the tales are told in short sentences featuring modern English. Stylized illustrations can make characters hard to distinguish when the narration is already so reduced. Each volume includes brief background material, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos.

Shakespeare's timeless tale of tragic romance comes to life in this graphic retelling for kids. When Romeo and Juliet meet, it's love at first sight. But their families, the Montagues and Capulets, are locked in a deadly age-old feud, and the teens' feelings could lead to disaster. Can the two find a way to be together without risking their love, and their lives? With extra background on the original play and its author, plus discussion questions and writing prompts, it's easy to introduce young readers to this dramatic literary classic.
