Book Synopsis
Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as "delightfully deadpan" (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called "a clever, romantic farce" (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure--perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.
Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou--better known as werewolves.
And where there are garou, there're hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill's Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank "the Pistol Prince" Butler.
After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there's talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving--meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they're a day late and a Jane short.
In this next read for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin', whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.
Review Quotes
Praise for My Plain Jane:
"The authors' affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A delightfully deadpan deconstruction of a Gothic novel, with a ghost almost no one can see providing the commentary. Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good." - ALA Booklist (starred review)
"A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge, and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings, and her heroine." - School Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for My Lady Jane:
"Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight." - Booklist (starred review)
"An uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Gleefully anachronistic comedy." - Kirkus Reviews
"Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down. A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm." - Kirkus Reviews
"Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules." - Booklist (starred review)
