My Plain Jane - Hardcover

by Cynthia Hand (Author), Brodi Ashton (Author), Jodi Meadows (Author)

Move over, Charlotte Brontë. The authors of the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane put an irreverent spin on Jane Eyre--a fantastical tale of mischief, romance, and supernatural mayhem perfect for fans of The Princess Bride or A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

You may think you know the story. Penniless orphan Jane Eyre begins a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester--and, Reader, she marries him. Or does she?

Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Brontë, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights.

This isn't your English teacher's classic novel:

• A Heroine Who Sees Ghosts: Jane Eyre isn't just a penniless orphan; she's a magnet for the dearly departed, making her new governess job at Thornfield Hall... complicated.
• A Famous Author as a Sidekick: Before she was a literary legend, Charlotte Brontë was Jane's best friend, a wannabe detective, and an expert in all things Gothic--at least, she thinks she is.
• Supernatural Comedy: A laugh-out-loud funny retelling where the ghosts are cheekier than the heroes and spectral shenanigans are around every corner.
• A Very Broody Ghost Hunter: Alexander Blackwood of the Royal Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits is here to deal with ghosts, not fall for a governess. (Famous last words.)
