Summary

The Hound of Thornfield High is a retelling of Charlotte Bronte's 1847 classic, Jane Eyre, but as a contemporary young adult novel.

In this rendition, Jane Eyre, seventeen, is a student at Thornfield High. Ready for a fun senior year with her best friend, Helen Burns, Jane is quickly unmoored by Eddie Rochester, a new student who matriculates when Thornfield High merges with Milcott High. Unfortunately, Eddie is already dating Bertha Mason.

When the relationship between Eddie and Bertha sours, Eddie begins chasing the beautiful Blanche Ingram. Meanwhile, Jane uncovers a secret that jeopardizes everything she knows about her family. To complicate Jane's heart, SJ Rivers confesses feelings for her, too.

This is Jane Eyre's story, adapted for younger listeners, and told in our contemporary world of cell phones, text messages, and social media; it's still, at heart, the story of a resilient woman, her journey to discover who she is, and what she really wants.

Ok

I found this book slow going. There were a few hiccups in pronunciation evident in the narration too.I have found other reworkings on traditional texts similarly slow and the original texts the same, so I think this is more likely me than the author and narration being at fault.
Jane did get the balance of teenage angst accurate for me though which stood out.
