Packed with exciting choices, fun puzzles, secret surprises, terrible puns and more than a billion possible storylines, Romeo and/or Juliet offers a new experience every time you read it. And, as an added bonus, all the different endings feature beautiful and quirky illustrations by some of the best artists working today, including New York Times bestsellers Kate Beaton, Noelle Stevenson, Randall Munroe, and Jon Klassen.

'Shakespeare with even more sex, cryptography, time travel and alternate endings than the original! Ryan North is the only writer I know who's smart enough and funny enough to pull this off' Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy

Author Biography

Ryan North is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His previous Shakespeare book, To Be or Not To Be, became Kickstarter's most-funded publishing project when it launched. North writes the popular webcomic Dinosaur Comics and the critically acclaimed Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for Marvel Comics, and he wrote the first thirty-five issues of Adventure Time, for which he won an Eisner Award. That's like the Oscars of comics! There's a gala and everything. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Jenn, and their dog, Noam Chompsky.
