THE PLAIN JANES by Cecil Castellucci & Jim Rugg

When Jane Beckles' life is threatened by tragedy, her parents feel it is best to move the family from the uncertainty of the bustling Metro City to safe & sound Suburbia a.k.a. Hell...

"I'm lonely for friends", Jane thinks to herself...Until this MainJane meets a true tribe of real-life, kindred-spirited Janes... BrainJayne, TheatreJane, & SportySpice...uh, I mean SportyJane.

MainJane wants to find a way to make things beautiful. With the help of the other Janes, she forms a rouge art gang called P.L.A.I.N. - People Loving Art In Neighborhoods. P.L.A.I.N. executes purposeful acts of beauty around Surburbia...causing citizens to take notice and Main Jane to find healing through the mantra "Art Saves".

This book is rockin'! It's a quick read with a memorable story.

I really enjoyed this too. It was so fun and I liked the way the Janes looked. I do wish their final project hadn't been what it was, but that is a small, small thing.
