The next great Jane caught my attention because I’m a tentative Jane Austen fan, who really enjoys her stories, but has not ever managed to actually read one. K.L. Going writes an interesting young adult novel here, in which we meet Jane, who loves to write and fancies herself the next great Jane.
She has the fortune to meet a famous author who promises to share her secrets for great writing with Jane. Jane doesn’t seem to think the advice is all that revolutionary, but will some unlikely friendships, some science projects and some good old falling in love prove her wrong.
This is a fun, quick read, which I can highly recommend for anyone over the age of 10 since it is appropriate for younger readers. I’m interested to see what some of this author’s 10 other YA novels on Amazon are like - I would happily read any of them based on the enjoyment which I got from reading The Next Great Jane.
