About the Book Romiette and Julio
Sharon M. Draper’s Romiette and Julio is a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” set in Cincinnati, Ohio. The story centers on Romiette Cappelle, an African American girl, and Julio Montague, a Hispanic boy, as they face the challenges of their interracial relationship amidst a high school environment plagued by gang violence and racism.
Romiette and Julio’s connection begins online and quickly deepens, but their relationship is threatened by a local gang called the Devildogs, who disapprove of their union. As they navigate the dangers posed by the gang and societal prejudices, they rely on their friends to help them stand up against the hostility and prove that love can triumph over hate.
The novel delves into themes of racism, gang violence, and the strength of young love and friendship. Draper’s captivating storytelling and relatable characters make Romiette and Julio a powerful read for young adults, emphasizing the importance of courage and resilience in overcoming adversity.
