Format: Book
Jane has been forced by her parents to move from her hip home in Metro City to Surburbia and thinks that her life is over. But, surprisingly, in the lunch room, at the reject table, she finds her "tribe". Sitting together are three other girls named Jane and it's now up to Main Jane to convince the other girls to form a secret club called P.L.A.I.N. (People Loving Art in Neighborhoods). In fact, P.L.A.I.N. comes to be known as "art terrorists".
This book may turn some people off because it is in graphic format, but in my mind, the graphic format just enhances the story. I found myself flipping back and forth, looking at the pictures to get more of the feelings that the characters were dealing with. In itself, the story is very real. There was a bombing in Metro City, Jane was caught in the bombing and therefore her parents became worried and overprotective, so they moved the family away from the city. They moved to a place that they believed would be a safe place for Jane to grow up at. The story is grounded in a reality that all teenagers face today - an uncertain world, high school, and friendships. I believe it is a good, quick read for everyone.
