What Readers are Saying
“A long overdue novel that unexpectedly takes nineteenth century girls away from demurely socializing in the living room to wildly running outdoors, from quietly studying in school to wreaking havoc across town, from begrudgingly performing house chores to having the most amazing adventures of their lives!”
— Paula Namath, Librarian at Milwaukee Public Library“The characters are transformed to accommodate the gender reversal, but the storyline reads as though it had been written that way in the first place. I found the book to be humorous, uplifting and powerful; a great read for a young adult and a newfound joy for a season reader.”
— Michael Flanagan, Director Emeritus, Crossman Gallery“What I love about this read was that everything was from a young, adventurous, slightly rebellious girl in a period of time when girls were meant to look pretty, not get dirty, smile, do indoor duties, and be agreeable. Jane works hard to push against the social confines of acceptable behavior and just be who she is regardless of what others think.”
