ALA Best Book for Young Adults
ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers

In Shakespeare's enduring tale of ancient Rome, Julius Caesar is at the height of his powers--but there are men plotting his destruction. Is Caesar a tyrant or a dynamic leader? Are his enemies greedy or noble? The Manga Shakespeare adaptation of this important work maintains the language--and the fierce political intrigue--of the original while including a fresh perspective through the style of modern manga.

"Reluctant readers who appreciate manga and who would not think of picking up the work of Shakespeare are sure to gravitate toward these titles. Even if the text puts them off, they will be drawn to the illustrations." --VOYA
