by Mj Whyman (Author)
A story of friendship, loyalty, betrayal and coming of age.
Mercutio is alone and neglected until he is befriended by Bettina and Romeo. They become the family that he will protect at all costs, with a strong bond developing between the two boys. To the easy-going Romeo, this is brotherhood. To Mercutio, this is everything.
In the background is Dion, an angry, displaced child who is fascinated by Mercutio and the strength he seems to represent in contrast to his own sense of being small and lost.
As the boys grow up, Romeo embraces new opportunities and new relationships, while Dion explores the only opportunities that seems available to him. Mercutio finds that he has to make difficult choices about who he is and what comes next.
