Title: Jane
Author: April Lindner
Release Date: October 11, 2010

This book is a re-imagining of the classic story, Jane Eyre, set in modern times for a new generation of young readers. While I often hesitate to read re-imagined classics because I love the originals so much, I think this sounds fun. I love the simplicity of the cover, and I'm interested to see how Jane spins this story for a fresh take and a modern time.
I can't wait to read this one, either! I can't resist modern retellings of classics :)
