Jane can't catch a break. Her parents are dead and her awful cousin is kicking her out. To make everything even worse, the boy she wants to marry goes missing. Can Jane save Peter and gain confidence?
This was a really nice and enjoyable read with a good message! The art, the characters, the story... it all worked really well together. I haven't read other Vera Brosgol's books but after reading Plain Jane and the Mermaid, I might pick up other of her books.
