Boston Jane: The Claim

By Jennifer L. Holm

Fans of Boston Jane: An Adventure and Boston Jane: Wilderness Days will revel in the rip-roaring adventure, romance, and humor of this spectacularly spirited and satisfying conclusion to New York Times bestselling and three-time Newbery Honor–winning author Jennifer L. Holm's acclaimed historical fiction trilogy.

Seventeen-year-old Jane Peck is the darling of Washington Territory—more at home in a primitive pioneer settlement in the rugged Northwest than she ever was in the refined world of Philadelphia society. She's outwitted wild animals, vengeful ghosts, and a disloyal fiance, but when her finishing school nemesis Sally Biddle invades Shoalwater Bay, Jane discovers that the most dangerous thing on the frontier might just be an impeccably dressed debutant. As the Biddles charm their way into her close-knit community, Jane finds everything she holds dear threatened—including her true love! Will Jane's claim on happiness slip away?

Reviews for Boston Jane

[shannaredwind_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I didn't enjoy this as much as the others. I don't like mean girl turns everyone against you stories, so this book just didn't appeal to me. But it was still worth the read, especially if you don't mind that theme in a book.

By far the best in the series! Just when Jane starts feeling at home on the west coast, her past follows her there and all her former insecurities come rising to the surface. But Jehu's love pulls her through the tough times. A wonderful story that teens will enjoy!

A good finale to the series. Several times throughout the book, I wanted to tell Jane, "just leave Shoalwater Bay already!" but she patched things up in the end alright. Worthwhile, good writing, kept me reading.
