Boston Jane

Read by Jessalyn GilsigApprox. 5 hours4 cassettesFresh from Miss Hepplewhite’s Young Ladies’ Academy, sixteen year old Jane Peck has come to the unknown wilds of the Northwest to be wedded to her true love, William Baldt, her idol from childhood. But her socially correct upbringing in straitlaced Philadelphia is hardly preparation for the colorful characters and crude life that await her in Shoal Water Bay in the Washington Territory. Thrown upon her wits in the wild, Jane learns not only to cope, but to thrive and to discover for herself whether she is truly proper Miss Jane Peck of Philadelphia, faultless young lady and fianc e, or Boston Jane, as the Chinook dub her, fearless and loyal woman of the frontier. Drawn from historical material of the region, Boston Jane is a rich potpourri of adventure, humor, romance, and suspense, featuring a dashing new hero*ine who will win readers’ hearts as she discovers the true desires of her own.

Wilderness Days

‘Remember — you make your own luck.’

Abandoned in Washington Territory by her faithless fiance, Jane Peck prepares to return home to Philadelphia — only to learn that the life she once knew is no more. Lost and alone, Jane must make a new home for herself as the only pioneer woman in the primitive settlement of Shoalwater Bay. Armed with little more than her finishing-school education, Jane is left to survive everything from the disagreeable habits of her unkempt landlord to the infuriating flawlessness of Shoalwater’s latest arrival, Mrs. Frink. All this, as well as a blossoming romance and a perilous manhunt, awaits Jane as she matches wits with the wilderness.

The second book of the Boston Jane trilogy, this remarkable, suspense-filled adventure pits Jane Peck against some of her deepest fears in the wild, uncharted frontiers of friendship, love, and the Pacific Northwest.

The Claim

‘I was on my claim, I told myself over and over…
Nothing bad could happen to me here.’ With a mind of her own and a handsome suitor who loves her for it, seventeen year old Jane Peck is the darling of the Washington Territory. She’s outwitted wild animals, vengeful ghosts, and a disloyal fianc , but when her finishing school nemesis Sally Biddle invades Shoalwater Bay, Jane discovers that the most dangerous thing on the frontier may be an impeccably dressed debutante. As the Biddles of Philadelphia charm their way into Jane’s close knit community, she finds everything she holds dear threatened including her true love, a rakish sailor named Jehu. Will Jane’s claim on happiness slip away? This third book of the richly historical Boston Jane trilogy carries on the tradition of rip roaring romance and adventure that began with Boston Jane: An Adventure and Boston Jane: Wilderness Days. Jane has survived the wilderness and claimed herself a home, but her frontier trials are far from over. It will take all of the spunk and spit Jane can muster to protect her land and preserve her dreams.

Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf

Ginny has ten items on her big to do list for seventh grade. None of them, however, include accidentally turning her hair pink. Or getting sent to detention for throwing frogs in class. Or losing the lead role in the ballet recital to her ex best friend. Or the thousand other things that can go wrong between September and June. But it looks like it’s shaping up to be that kind of a year! As readers follow Ginny throughout the story of her year, told entirely through her stuff notes from classmates, school reports, emails, poems, receipts, and cartoons from her perpetually in trouble older brother Harry a portrait emerges of a funny, loveable, thoughtful girl struggling to be herself whoever that person turns out to be.

Our Only May Amelia

She may be a miracle, but she’s no proper young lady!

It isn’t easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in 1899, but it’s particularly hard when you are the only girl ever born in the new settlement. With seven older brothers and a love of adventure, May Amelia Jackson just can’t seem to abide her family’s insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady. Not when there’s fishing to be done, sheep to be herded, and real live murderers to be captured! May is sure she could manage better if only there were at least one other girl living along the banks of the Nasel River. And now that Mama’s going to have a baby, maybe there’s hope…
