Rating: Summary: All girls must read this! Review: "Boston Jane Series: An Adventure" is an excellent book for girls of all ages. It teaches a valuable lesson: females do not need to surrender to males. Women can do all that men can do and more, and we need to not comply with what society expects of us. The story was exciting and realistic. Jane is very witty, and everyone can grow to like her. I couldn't not help but roll my eyes whenever the ladies handbook was mentioned. I truly enjoyed this book. I recommend.

Rating: Summary: Boston Jane Review: As I understand this book is based on true events. When a young girl,Jane Peck, finds an opportunity to come to colonial America to escape the disapointment of her father and the torture some Sally Biddle,a childhood enemy,and has sucessfully become a lady in the process. She faces hardship and joyous discoveries,as she finds herself and her true love. This book is good for those of us who enjoy the romantic adventures of our nations beginning. Its an average book in my own opinion.
Rating: Summary: An Adventure! Review: Boston Jan tell the story of Jane Peck in the 1800s. Her father is a surgeon and she gets to help him cure people. In her spare time, she enjoys spitting and throwing things. But things change when her father's apprentice, William, tells Jane that she should be a lady. Because she had a crush on him, she enrolls in a girl's school. Within a few years she is a lady. Willaim goes west to the fronteir, and sends a letter asking Jane to marry her. To her father's dismay, she goes. You have to read the book to find out what happens next. This is a fantastic book! I felt so sorry for Jane at certain parts of the book. And, this book is way better than Our Only May Amelia, the other book by the author.
Rating: Summary: this was okay/good Review: Boston Jane is a great book. The character of Jane is a feisty, funny and a remarkable young woman for her time. She defies the laws which bound women in that time. She threw manure balls if she wanted to, ate what she wanted to, and spoke her mind. But then hormones kick in. Yup, those annoying, pesky little problems that race through us 9-17 year-old's bodies. She falls for a guy. His name is William and Jane thinks he's just the most remarkable thing since the invention of the wheel. And he tells her she really should be more of a lady. So what does this silly little tomboy do? Heads off to Miss Hepplewhite's finishing school, of course! Now she can't have any more of the foods she loves (namely, Mrs. Parker's cherry pie), she must sit a certain way, dress a certain way, and do whatever Miss. Hepplewhite tells her to do, for fear of dissapointing William. Don't we all do that for cute guys? Then, oh horror of horrors, William decides he's going to move west to be a lumberjack. Poor Jane! The best way she can think of to cope is to ask him to write her! And, joy of joys!, he does. And, blissfully and wonderfully, that handsome man asks her to come west to marry him! But, oops, big problem. Her rent' says he isn't about to let his daughter go off out west to marry some lumberjack. Oh well, eventually this daddy's girl convinces him that if he doesn't let her go, her little heart will break! So he finally lets her go. Uh-oh. Major big gigantosaurous mistake. When she finally gets to where she's supposed to meet him, he isn't there!(hey, I didn't say it was fast, convincing her father) So here Miss Lady Jane is, stuck in the middle of the wilderness with a bunch of uncivilized men and indians. Find out if Jane survives the hilarious, touching, and heart-breaking events that follow! And see if William comes back!
Rating: Summary: I guess I was just a little too old for this book Review: Boston Jane is such a good book. This book made me love historical fiction. It's about a "proper" young lady from Philidelphia who travels to the unsettled Shoalwater Bay to wed. What she excpects is a nice little village where when you pass, everybody knows your name. What she got was a tiny cabin where rowdy drunken men an Indians stayed together. She also learns that her fiancee is no longer there. She decides to stay at Shoalwater Bay and wait someone to find him and bring him back. While waiting, she not also find her true friends, but also her true love.

Rating: Summary: READ IT! Review: Boston Jane was a great book. It is about a girl named Jane Peck. She is asked to be the wife of a man named William Baldt. On her voyage out to the wilderness her best friend Mary dies and she is left with a man named Jehu Scudder who happens to have a crush on her. Jane tells us that life isn't about being popular it's about being yourself and not letting bully's control your life. Read both the books to find out about what happens to her.
Rating: Summary: Great Book!! Review: Boston Jane was such a good book! I read it in one day and finished its sequel the next and am anxiously awaiting the upcoming third book to this series. It is about Jane,a girl from Philadelphia, who goes out west and finds many adventures, true friends, and unexpected love. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction with a twist of romance and adventure interwoven within the story.
Rating: Summary: It's Boston Jane! Review: Boston Jane was such a good book. If you like books that are so bad they are hilarious, then read Boston Jane. My friend and I read both of them and thought they were the funniest things we had ever read. We're both waiting for the last one in the trilogy!
