Real Reads: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (author) (UK edition)

What could be worse than falling in love with your enemy? Romeo thinks he knows what love is – until he meets Juliet, the daughter of the Capulets. With her, he discovers what true love really feels like. But their two families are bitter rivals, and no one must know about their secret passion. When Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin in a duel, their hope of happiness seems ended. Can Friar Laurence reconcile the two families – or will his plans bring even more tragedy? Shakespeare’s great tale of star-crossed love is retold for young readers in this vibrant short book, which includes activity ideas and colour pictures, and is told in a simple playscript text.
