The Hound of Thornfield High

The Hound of Thornfield High is a retelling of Charlotte Bronte's 1847 classic, Jane Eyre, 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 that relationship sours, he begins chasing the beautiful Blanche Ingram. Meanwhile, Jane uncovers a secret that jeopardizes everything she knows about her family. To complicate Jane's heart, S. J. Rivers confesses feelings for her, too. This is Jane Eyre's story, adapted for younger readers, 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.
