From Tomboy to a Proper Young Lady, Boston Jane is entertaining from cover to cover throughout the series. I found myself snickering then laughing out loud as I read how this spirited red head manages to head into scrapes and then recover. She matures through out the series, but never ceases to lose her girlish nature and remains "full of Spit". Just plain fun to read.
From Amazon: Readers will be charmed by teenage Jane's ironic tone and inner conflicts and will cheer her on as she sheds layer after layer of decorum. Granted, the budding romance between Jane and sailor Jehu, "hidden" beneath the surface love story of Jane and the more uppity William, is an at-least-twice-told tale; but young readers will get caught up in the excitement of it nonetheless. The intricate details of mid-19th century life on an untamed frontier--complete with carefully researched Chinook tribal history and real-life incidents of white settlers--are absolutely fascinating. A thrilling, entertaining read. (Ages 9 and older)
