Janes in Love - Cecil Castellucci, Jim Rugg
In this second installment of the PLAIN JANES series, the gang is looking for new ways to spread art around the community. Problems are looming on the horizon though. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and everyone is looking for a sweetheart for the big dance and pulling their sneak art attacks are getting harder and harder with Officer Sanchez always on the look out. Jane still maintains correspondence with Miroslaw from the first book. From one of the letters Jane gets from him, she gets the idea to find a legal way to spread her art. She applies for a grant from the National Foundation for the Arts. Her proposal is based on taking an abandoned corner and turning it into a garden paradise to whole community can enjoy.Despite some ups and downs, the Janes stay focused on their goal. This installment is just as entertaining as the first one. I’m assuming there will be another one, but I have no idea what it will be about since JANES IN LOVE wraps up so nicely.
