Jane Blonde
Jane Blonde is the eponymous heroine of the Jane Blonde series of young adult novels by Jill Marshall. Jane Blonde is a James Bondesque spy, who is sent on missions and equipped with (often disguised) gadgets. Reviewers have praised Marshall's action sequences and pacing, but several have also expressed confusion stemming from the number of characters, many of whom assume multiple names, and some of the plot twists.

On May 11, 2010, Jill Marshall announced that ''Sensational Spylet'', the first book in the series, had been optioned by Bridge to Terabithia (2007 film), Bridge to Terabithia co-producer Tim Coddingto Plot Janey Brown was originally a very normal and boring student.

More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games. Definition and theory Typically, the fictionality of a work is publicly expressed, so the audience expects a work of fiction to deviate to a greater or lesser degree from the real world, rather than presenting for instance only factually accurate portrayals or characters who are actual people. Because fiction is generally understood as not adhering to the real world, the theme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
