In this choose-your-own-path version of Romeo and Juliet, you choose where the story goes every time you read! What if Romeo never met Juliet? What if Juliet got really buff instead of moping around the castle all day? What if they teamed up to take over Verona with robot suits? Whatever your adventure, you're guaranteed to find lots of romance, lots of epic fight scenes, and plenty of questionable decision-making by very emotional teens.
UNUSUAL BOOK FORMAT
ROMEO AND/OR JULIET has over 40 QUADRILLION (read: 40,000,000,000,000,000) possible journeys for a reader to take. Readers can choose to play as Romeo or Juliet, as Romeo and Juliet together, as Juliet’s nurse, or even as an unlockable fourth mystery character. All of the endings—there are more than a hundred—feature original illustrations from incredible artists including New York Times bestsellers Kate Beaton, Noelle Stevenson, Randall Munroe, and Jon Klassen.
FUN NEW LOOK AT SHAKESPEARE
Written with the unique humor that fans of Dinosaur Comics and the Adventure Time comics know and love, ROMEO AND/OR JULIET turns the Bard's beloved play into fodder for madcap comedy. Shakespeare has never been this entertaining, or this weird. We can’t think of a better way to… “celebrate” the 400th anniversary (2016) of Shakespeare’s death.
PROLIFIC AUTHOR AND JACK OF ALL TRADES RYAN NORTH
Ryan North is a New York Times–bestselling author and cartoonist. North writes the popular webcomic Dinosaur Comics and the critically-acclaimed Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comic for Marvel Comics. He also wrote the first 35 issues of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time, for which he won an Eisner Award, which is essentially the Oscars of the comics world.
GROUNDSWELL OF FAN SUPPORT
Ryan’s last choose-your-own-path Shakespeare book, To Be or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure became Kickstarter’s most-funded publishing project when it launched in 2013, raising nearly $600K. Ryan’s massive following and supportive fans turned a few tweets about ROMEO AND/OR JULIET into thousands of pre-orders of the book.
