Description

Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as delightfully deadpan (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called a clever, romantic farce (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventureperfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.

Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garoubetter known as werewolves.

And where there are garou, therere hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bills Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank the Pistol Prince Butler.

After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where theres talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceivingmeaning the gang better hightail it after her before theyre a day late and a Jane short.

In this next read for fans of A Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin, whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual) tale of Calamity Jane.

Reviews

Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules. Booklist (starred review) Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down. A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm. Kirkus Reviews
