"Powell’s retelling of the classic play simplifies the story for below-level readers without overly truncating the plot, and he makes sure to include some of the famous lines spoken by Romeo and Juliet. Meanwhile, Cabrera’s art is expressive and befits the romantic quality of the story. . . .This entry in the Shakespeare Graphics series provides a good introduction to the play for younger learners as well as an aid for struggling readers." - Booklist
