Intended Audience: This is a good read for students interested on issues dealing with friends, community and survival. The target age group would be 12years and up. It teaches students that being in the in group is not always a positive thing. You must allow yourself to socialize with others and not judge people by their looks.
Lesson: Students could create a venn-diagram outlining the differences and similarities of all the four Janes.
Annotation: A good to read graphic novel about a girl named Jane, who is forced to move from the Metro City to the Suburbs with her parents. Jane was injured in a bomb attack and befriended a comatose man at the hospital. She attends a new school where she refuses to join the cool kids and instead chooses to sit at the reject table. There she sits with three other girls who are also named Jane. The girls together form a secret art gang and decide to carry out "art attacks" around their community based on issues that involve their area of living. They are known as the P. L. A. I. N. (People Loving Art in Neighborhoods). The group becomes popular even with the coolest kids in school. However, this group has created havoc among their community, which leads to the girls letting go off P.L.A.I.N. and in the end they continue to bring art into the city.
