A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ


Romiette and Julio

Author: Sharon M. Draper & Adam lowenbien

This story is a modern time romeo and Juliet story. This story is about a girl named Romiette and she meets a young man called Julio. She feels that she has found her soul mate. But like the story Romeo and Juliet not everyone approves of Romiette and Julio's romance. In there case it is because Romiette is African American and Julio is Hispanic. The Devil Dogs, a dangerous local gang, are against there relationship and threaten to teach them a lesson. Romiette and Julio come up with a risky plan to try to escape form the gang of the Devil Dogs. They find themselves caught in a life or death situation. It is important for everyone to read this book that way people can acknowledge that there is no reason why two people that love each other can't be together just because of there different race or skin color.
