In this spectacularly genre-bending retelling of Romeo & Juliet, true love and fate collide with time travel in a post-apocalyptic future.
Year: 2083. Location: London. Mission: Wake Romeo.
It's the end of the world. Literally. Time travel is possible, but only forward. And only a handful of families choose to remain in the "now," living off the scraps left behind.
Among them are eighteen-year-old Juliet and the love of her life, Romeo. But things are far from rosy for Jules. Romeo lies in a coma and Jules is estranged from her friends and family, dealing with the very real fallout of their wild romance.
Then a mysterious time traveler, Ellis, impossibly arrives from the future with a mission that makes Juliet question everything she knows about life and love.
Can Jules wake Romeo—and rewrite her future? In Waking Romeo, Australian YA author Kathryn Barker delivers a futuristic reimagining of Shakespeare's classic that blends mystery, action, adventure and romance in a captivating dystopian tale.
