BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok and Frank Butler are traveling through 1876 America with their Wild West show, entertaining the crowds with their shooting expertise. 16yo Annie, also an excellent shot, and definitely not interested in marriage, leaves home to audition for the show. Wild Bill and the others also hunt garou (Werewolves), but during their latest hunt Jane got bit and now she’s taken off in search of a cure. Annie joins with Bill and Frank to find her, but the truth – of the cure, of Jane’s family, of the Wild West show – is much, much more complicated.
Following the pattern of the other “Jane” books, Hand, Ashton, and Meadows take a bit of history and add their special twists to all of it. Highly entertaining, very funny. The Jane’s are getting a Mary later this year when they tackle the life of Mary, Queen of Scots – I can’t wait!
